good point ... considering the requirements i do recommend not 
to use dita. it's much too heavy and it uses old-fashioned
technology. but dita has done a very fine analysis of document-
processing. 

i mentioned dita because from some dita-points of 
view docbook is legacy. trust me in that.

so ... i do not recommend docbook either ;-)
nor latex ... isnt that mysterious ?

write your documents in xhtml.  xhtml is xml and there is a DTD and 
a Schema for xhtml. the web is the master-content then. this makes 
community-contributions simple compared to docbook or dita. its also
close to upcomming concepts for the semantic web -> rdf(a), microformats.

but ... this solution is not good for distibuted content 
and multichannel output (rtf etc.)

also princexml and oxygene are commercial products and might not be
an option for an open-source-project.

there seems to be no 'real good' solution at the moment.
