I've been feeling better about XHTML since I started using DocBook.
I'm quite glad there's a simple XSLT transformation from DocBook ->
XHTML to read the text without having to use a WYSIWYG editor (all of
which seem to be commercial and/or Java).  Converting to HTML 4 seems
to be more problematic.  Likewise, when I get tired of DocBook's
verboseness, I think about making a XHTML -> DocBook converter, which
would be more difficult than going from HTML.  Although I suppose not
that difficult with BeautifulSoup.

We considered using DocBook years ago for the Cheetah manual but
didn't because the learning curve was so high.  But now that editors
like Kate can outline it and validate it and a good XHTML stylesheet
has emerged, I'd consider it more now.
