What do people think about docbook? I'm impressed with the kind of doc 
output that, for example, the PHP guys and Mark Pilgrim's Dive Into 
Python and the Subversion Book, can generate from docbook sources. I'm 
not suggesting any whole hog re-write of the Python docs anytime soon, 
just wanted to feel it out.
