I was hoping someone might be tossing around the idea of converting
everything from pure HTML/Mk files > SGML/DocBook or even better,
XML/DocBook.  As cheesy as that sounds, there's some exciting stuff going
on in the XML community, and a lot of other projects are taking the lead
(I'm pretty sure all of the LDP is done via DocBook now)

There are a lot of advantages to using DocBook, too many to mention now,
but by far the biggest among the list are: portable output formats
(flat text, HTML, pdf, rtf, etc.), and use of stylesheets / schemas to
handle costmetic formatting, allowing the project to focus more on
document content.
