It sounds to me like those who want to contribute to the documentation would rather do it in a user-notes kinda way than actually contribute to the documentation. I.e. not need to do the background work like checking the GTK manual or source, kind of thing. That's totally understandable, but I think blaming the use of XML is a bit mean when really it's the lack of user notes that's the issue.

Keeping a php.net-standard system means there are always people capable of fixing it when it breaks. Right now, keeping a php.net-standard system also means we should get access to phd, which is a fast-rendering PHP based manual build system (no extra tools required, no not even xsltproc). That factor alone makes it a good investment; the current work on live editing, I'm less convinced about, unless I've misunderstood something major. (Mirrors????)
