One problem I am hearing about occurs if we include the
"Acknowledgements" or "Dedication" section, we may greatly reduce the
freedom of our document. In this matter I defer to the debian-legal
list for all the reasoning. Here is a page that appears to cover all
the details:
http://people.debian.org/~srivasta/Position_Statement.html
Because the GDSG doesn't include any Invariants or other immutable
content, we are fully free to use it. Similarly, our GFDL is nicely
fully free.
Anyway, I don't want to seek legal advice unless we can't find a clear
precedent of how to act. It's seeming clear, so far.

Whew!! Boy, that sounds like fun. ;)
So should we be referring to the LDP Author Guide as the preferred
document model? At least in the context of new releases.
i.e. "expected" hierarchical structure
http://tldp.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/html/index.html
This guide already provides for compliance with the GFDL, and has been
verified by the FSF.
Within section A.1 of the above resource, there are numerous templates
for various documentation structures that the editorial team can review
for application in fedora-docs.
