This is where I need your help most: could you please do the conversion
yourself?
I am convinced that this would be the best option, since I have zero
familiarity with the test infrastructure used in po4a and I am afraid
I would mess everything up...   :-p

I'll try and find a little more time and test Rd.pm against some
existing Ruby documentation.

I think we can live with the limitations, for the time being.

Anyway, one of the limitations could soon be dropped, since a friend has
just sent me a promising patch...

I am glad you liked it. Thanks for your time and for your commitment
to help me during the integration of Rd.pm into the official po4a
package!
