Docbook *doesn't* meet our needs.  It does meet the need for tables
(CALS model) and figures and all that, more or less.

. docbook is way to scary for newbies.

. docbook doesn't support texinfo or ASCII or NROFF output.

. even then we'd have a lot of work ahead of us to extend
docbook, i.e., the <package> tag, etc., etc.  Volunteer?
