Any objections to having the rpm contain all flavors?  Seems like less
hassle with that approach.  But we could benefit from standardizing on
the location of how those files get dropped onto the system.

How about the following:

/usr/share/fedora/doc/$docbase/$lang/$docbase-$lang/     # chunked html
/usr/share/fedora/doc/$docbase/$lang/$docbase-$lang.html # nochunk html
/usr/share/fedora/doc/$docbase/$lang/$docbase-$lang.pdf  # pdf
/usr/share/fedora/doc/$docbase/$lang/$docbase-$lang.txt  # plain txt
/usr/share/fedora/doc/$docbase/$lang/$docbase-$lang.omf  (perhaps a
symlink from /usr/share/omf or vice-versa)

Thanks,
James Laska
