I totally agree.
In my latest project at work we wrote all documentation in XML (with a nice
DTD). It took much less time than writing in Word and we had more than a dozen
layouts presentable at the moment I saved (thanks to some equally nice XSLT's).
OTOH it's not very fun writing the DTD and especially not the XSLT.
If you have Windows you could try downloading XMetal. I think it comes with
some sample 'journalistic' DTD's.

Here are Xalan and Xerces for BeOS with code.
A BeOS port of Xalan-C : http://www.bebits.com/app/1591
A BeOS port of Xerces-C: http://www.bebits.com/app/1590
