Perhaps this is the way to go with the documentation. Looking at the
DocBook site they have tools to generate man and HTML pages as well as
an SGML/XML editing mode for emacs. Having the documentation in a single
source that can be used to generate several different presentation
formats is definitely a plus. But I think we should probably stick with
HTML for 5.0 stable since changing all the documentation to DocBook may
be too big a job. We can schedule it for 5.1 instead.

Anyway, just my 2 cents worth
