  I would suggest breaking up SUNWgnome-xml into its smaller components,
  so that SUNWman or its replacement could depend only on the
  xsl-stylesheets tree.

  We could go further and break or mark the man-specific portions from
  that xsl-stylesheet tree, so that only the minimum made it to the CD,
  but 50% comes from just cutting the package into two...
