Which also allows us to export this to HTML, and thus onto a website.

My dream has been to have a central location for documentation which 
gets updated and tracked in Subversion, and the same documentation is 
utilized inside of Asterisk, and also is available in PDF/HTML/etc... 
formats.

With the XML format in the source, this becomes more of a reality. Now 
we just need the CMS backend which can handle the import/export of 
DocBook...
