The advantage of the wiki version is that people will actually edit and
improve it. To prove my point, a few sentences from:
http://www.nhforge.org/doc/nh/en/index.html
"Contrast this with the usual Java model where an unreferenced object is
garbage collected."
"This manual uses lowercase HQL keywords. Some users find queries with
uppercase keywords more readable, but we find this convention ugly when
embedded in Java code."
"A Java class name embedded in the where clause will be translated to its
discriminator value. "
"The Hibernate code generator may be used to generate skeletal
Javaimplementation classes from a
Hibernate mapping file."

These docs were ported back in september 2005 we still have references to
Java and Hibernate!

The docbook format is obviously not working as a living reference document!
