  You people are making a classic mistake, in not realizing what the user
(Derek, in this case) ) really means.  Derek's a bright fellow; he
understands things much more arcane than DocBook, and I'm sure DocBook is
will within his capabilities to understand, if he wanted to.

  Derek's issue here is that he hates writing documentation.  No amount of
technology is going to change that.  :-)

  This is an instance of a common problem today: People often overlook the
fact that the ability to work with complex systems and the ability to
document complex systems are two different things.  :-)
