The source files for the Bugzilla Guide have long been using the XML version of DocBook but still residing in the sgml/ directory with an extension of .sgml.
In an effort to maintain CVS history, the raw files were copied on the CVS server to the xml/ directory and renamed to have .xml for the extension; any checkins before this one did have the .sgml extension.
