Such cases should pass both program and documentation DFSG restrictions.

I'm going to assume for a moment that if something is program-DFSG free, it'll be documentation (DFDG, maybe?) free as well.

This would pretty much mean only ASCII and maybe HTML documentation is subject to the documentation guidelines. DocBook, TeX, PostScript, etc. are all either clearly programming languages (they are Turing-complete) or have a source and compiled form.

Notably, the GNU manuals are written in TeX. So they'd be subjected to the DFSG. So creating a documentation version would accomplish.... nothing.
