"The GUI pulled of it as well"? I thought the goal was to rewrite the server documentation in a format which preserved semantics better than HTML. DocBook is widely used (GNOME uses it and KDE seems to change from LinuxDoc to it) and the tools are available.

I had an idea last year to make the configuration format an XML application (before I saw it on New-HTTPD) and then have modules supply their own DTD. This would allow them to extend the format for their own specific purposes and also make the configuration directly accessible by GUI tools. If this is close to what you are trying to do then you shouldn't use DocBook, but then the documentation is separate from this.
