Another advantage of XML is greater familiarity with the toolset
amongst the target authorship.

I dare say a number of people have tackled the similar HTML/XHTML/CSS
for authoring on the www, whereas few have tackled a manpage or
suchlike.

With regards a huge toolset, for the FreeBSD docs you don't need TeX
to produce the HTML version. The HTML can also always be converted to
postscript using, for example, Firefox for hardcopy.

Apologies for the big snip but I didn't particularly want to reply to
any one point & wanted to avoid redundancy.

Regards,
