The dev team was actually used to write HTML documentation so the move to XML was pretty much painless.

I am hoping that people will just mimics or simply copy-paste complicated docbook chunks. I only ask people to write documentation that pass xmllint validation. A nightly cron-job rebuilds the documentation to check the layout was actually correct. 2cts -- Mathieu
