You have to truly believe in miracles half of the time.  Other than that, be
very assertive and show the powers that be, how getting this kinda niput
will benfit them from a cost-effectiveness standpoint.  They love to see
things brroken down into dollar values.  Show how much time will be wasted
by dox personell having to do "bare bones research", whereas, if the tech
dep't, would provide some insight, it would make the dox team time much more
valuable to the whole project, as their time could be better spent on
producing high end documentation, rather than trying to find stupid, hidden
features and functions.  Otherwize.....believe.. ;)
