Thank you, everyone who responded to my question. I met with my managers today and we worked out a solution that's involves creating a mythical beast that's half out-of-date user guide and half-up-to-date release notes. When I'm not following the thread out of that maze (are you loving my classical references?), I will be updating the user guide, merging the two halves into one glorious golden fleece that men will cross oceans to marvel at.

Since you make your living from structured content, I'm not going to waste time explaining why it's not the best choice for every set of requirements, and why people are still creating interesting and useful unstructured tools.
