+               <description>&lt;p&gt;After the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/IETF_standardize_its_first_multimedia_codec__Opus.html&quot;&gt;Opus
+codec made&lt;/a&gt; it into &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ietf.org/&quot;&gt;IETF&lt;/a&gt; as
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6716&quot;&gt;RFC 6716&lt;/a&gt;, I had a look
+to see if there is any activity in IETF to standardise a video codec
+too, and I was happy to discover that there is some activity in this
+area.  A non-&quot;working group&quot; mailing list
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/video-codec&quot;&gt;video-codec&lt;/a&gt;
+was
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://ietf.10.n7.nabble.com/New-Non-WG-Mailing-List-video-codec-Video-codec-BoF-discussion-list-td119548.html&quot;&gt;created 2012-08-20&lt;/a&gt;.  It is intended to discuss the topic and if a
+formal working group should be formed.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I look forward to see how this plays out.  There is already
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/video-codec/current/msg00003.html&quot;&gt;an
+email from someone&lt;/a&gt; in the MPEG group at ISO asking people to
+participate in the ISO group.  Given how ISO failed with OOXML and given
+that it so far (as far as I can remember) only have produced
+multimedia formats in the past requiring royalty payments, I suspect
+joining the ISO group would be a complete waste of time, but I am not
+involved in any codec work and my opinion will not matter much.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If one of my readers is involved with codec work, I hope she will
+join this work to standardise a royalty free video codec within
+IETF.&lt;/p&gt;

-                <pubDate>Tue, 31 Jul 2012 22:00:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;I tried to send this text to the
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/&quot;&gt;docbook-apps
-mailing list at lists.oasis-open.org&lt;/a&gt;, but it only accept messages
-from subscribers and rejected my post, and I completely lack the
-bandwidth required to subscribe to another mailing list, so instead I
-try to post my message here and hope my blog readers can help me
-out.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I am quite new to docbook processing, and am climbing a steep
-learning curve at the moment.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;To give you some background, I am working on a Norwegian
-translation of the book Free Culture by Lawrence Lessig, and I use
-docbook to handle the process.  The files to build the book are
-available from
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.
-The book got around 400 pages with parts, images, footnotes, tables,
-index entries etc, which has proven to be a challenge for the free
-software docbook processors.  My build platform is Debian GNU/Linux
-Squeeze.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I want to build PDF, EPUB and HTML version of the book, and have
-tried different tool chains to do the conversion from docbook to these
-formats.  I am currently focusing on the PDF version, and have a few
-problems.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;ul&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Using dblatex, the &amp;lt;part&amp;gt; handling is not the way I want to,
-   as &amp;lt;/part&amp;gt; do not really end the &amp;lt;part&amp;gt;. (See
-   &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/683166&quot;&gt;BTS report #683166&lt;/a&gt;), the
-   xetex backend (needed to process UTF-8) give incorrect hyphens in
-   index references spanning several pages (See
-   &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/682901&quot;&gt;BTS report #682901&lt;/a&gt;), and
-   I am unable to get the norwegian template texts (See
-   &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/682936&quot;&gt;BTS report #682936&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Using straight xmlto fail with some latex error (See
-   &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/683163&quot;&gt;BTS report
-   #683163&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Using xmlto with the fop backend fail to handle images (do not
-   show up in the PDF), fail to handle a long footnote (overlap
-   footnote and text body, see
-   &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/683197&quot;&gt;BTS report #683197&lt;/a&gt;), and
-   fail to create a correct index (some lack page ref, and the page
-   refs listed are not right).&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Using xmlto with the dblatex backend behave like dblatex.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Using docbook-xls with xsltproc + fop have the same footnote and
-   index problems the xmlto + fop processing.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;/ul&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;So I wonder, what would be the best way to create the PDF version
-of this book?  Are some of the bugs found above solved in new or
-experimental versions of some docbook tool chain?&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;What about HTML and EPUB versions?&lt;/p&gt;
