[...] Sounds fine to me, as long as we still have wide enough tool support
i.e. currently most Linux and *BSD distributions have a working SGML

go back to a situation where installing the doc tools is a challenge in
itself.
Neither do I. A few detailed tests with the tools I proposed turned out to be
rather disappointing: >:-P
* db2foo: Works quite well, but is SuSE-specific and has minor problems with
the paper size
* docbook2foo: Don't handle DocBook XML out of the box because of some wrong
paths, at least on my SuSE 9.1
* xmlto produces strange output sometimes where formatting data appears in
the final document literally?!
So I think the most conservative path would be to maintain our current route
via (open)jade, only changing/improving the scripts around it a bit.
Also - we currently have the ability to fiddle with the stylesheet
settings ourselves. Would we lose that? [...]
Nope.
Cheers,
