Really?  Okay I didn't realize that this was what DocBooks was all 
about.  I am STRONGLY against any change to the editing structure of 
the Drupal Handbook or Documentation that can not be edited directly 
through a web application using either a WYSIWYG editor or straight 
HTML.  We can't obfuscate the editing authoring process further.  If 
this isn't what DocBooks is about then correct me.

Trust me, the majority of Drupal users aren't frustrated with the 
Documentation b/c it can't print out into a nicely formated book.  This 
shouldn't be our highest priority.  So it shouldn't be the deciding 
factor in what technology we use.
