I think that was a reason I didn't/couldn't contribute to the docs a  
long time ago, IIRC. There was a reason for docbook, but it was one  
of those "the best is the enemy of the good" moments. Docbook is  
great is everyone can use it, but choosing a format that is mostly  
used by coders means that its use might be limited to coders whose  
time might be better spent coding. Mere civilians like myself can  
more easily add to the project if we don't set up barriers to entry  
like that.
