I know that DocBook has been mentioned in this thread and compared unfavorably with DCF. I've used both, although I haven't used DCF for many years. We recently started using DocBook on a couple of projects, and overall we were pretty pleased with it.
We were able to generate documentation in HTML for a website along with PDF from the same XML source files. We used a set of Java XSLT and FO translators and Ant scripts which integrates with our Eclipse development environment very nicely ... Eclipse's XML-schema aware XML editor, although not perfect, makes XML markup pretty friendly overall. So you can plead with IBM to port and open DCF, but DocBook is already open, free, and portable to about everywhere. Like DCF, you can customize the styles and tags to meet your requirements. I don't think that it is as polished as DCF right now, but it is pretty usable IMO.
