I agree that the Drupal book type would be an ideal fit for document control and organization. Someone may have already mentioned this, but there is a Drupal book export to DocBook mod for Drupal version 5.x (Drupal still seems to be supporting 5, although 6.x has been out for a while). I haven't read much about converting a Docbook into Drupal, but that is a very interesting idea! Has anyone used the Drupal mode to export Docbook? Just curious as to whether it is validates.
