DocBook has already been agreed by the existing, active developers as the standard format for technical documentation. Axel has pointed out that there has been considerable discussion on this in the past and that the matter is now closed.
I'm not interested on discussing it again, but I'm still curious to the arguments for docbook. Mainly because I think it shows what the ideas on the direction and scope of the developer documentation are. It would give us a good overview of the reason for the choice so that people that want to help out can decide whether they 'fit' in that vision.
Thanks
