I think the important factor is that the doc is as accessible as
possible; if it requires the user to install a lot of tools just to be
able to read the doc there is a problem. And this is what worries me a
bit about DocBook; I find the raw SGML text painful to read, and I'm
not sure how easy it is to get the right tools to format it to
something readable. I think texinfo is better in this respect; but
this is only a personal opinion, ultimately the choice is up to the
people who actually write the doc.

What do other people think? Any strong opinions for/against DocBook?
