Just my unqualified opinion: You could write a document in reST and transform into DocBook/XML. However, other contributors will change the DocBook/XML version and there is no lossless transformation in the other direction. E.g. in reST, you have ``literal text``, whereas in DocBook/XML you may have <literal>literal text</literal>, <filename>/etc/passwd</filename>, <constant>pi</constant> etc. Cheers, -- W.
