Just some remarks/questions:
- docbook seems to be the standard for describing documentation data,
- dblatex seams to be a currently good supported tools for **easely**  
provide pdf
   output from docbook input, and cutomize the output with .xsl  
parameters or
   LaTeX .sty files
- dbcontext seams not to be maintained very much
- ConTeXt seams to be able to directly parse xml without external tools

So, what about make ConTeXt directly reading dokbook file and output  
pdf file?
I see the http://www.leverkruid.eu/context/index.html page from Simon  
Pepping.
But it seems that this project is down.

If ConTeXt provide an easy way for translate docbook to pdf file  
(usable by
a non (ie. not yet) ConTeXt user as dblatex is), I think poeple could  
switch
to ConTeXt only for that feature (not everybody have dependency with  
LaTeX!)
Then the problem would resume to find a good "yourPreferedWikiFormat" to
docbook...
(I'v not seen any "t-bocbook" file on http://dl.contextgarden.net/modules)
