This is good because community could update it.
I can see three problems:
- sgml source advantages
- dynamically generates one-large-page version and
one-page-per-chapter version
- can generate pdf as well
- can easily put images but probably possible for wiki as well
- there is an internal version of the mdk rpm howto (well this is
mostly outdated, all "internal" information can be removed)
- me and wiki actually :/... i use a real editor for editing my
documents, i have much trouble editing a larger document like
mdk rpm howto in my browser, without real editing capabilities;
copy-paste back and forth between wiki and local harddrive
would also be a pain.. how do you use wiki with larger files?

I don't much know :/... I see that wiki is good for community
involvement, ability to edit & publish very easily. Revisions are
automatically available via wiki, if I'm correct. I guess we can
extract an offline copy as well.
I still see a problem with editing capabilities but maybe you
have a brilliant answer on that problem? :)
