Another reason for choosing DocBook XML.  The existing XML tools
can be used to produce man pages (I believe I have read recently
something about that in one of the DocBook mailing lists).

I.e. sources --> internal XML --(alternatively)--> DocBook XML --
transformation XML tools
plus (as other alternatives to the DocBook tool chain) the original 
doxygen's HTML generator,  LaTeX generator, etc.

I feel we are converging!  As I still think that DocBook be 
the good choice, the internal XML should not create 
obstacles.  This is the reason for further analysis.

I have just first touch with DocBook.  I do not have 
good working knowledge.  We should possibly search for
some DocBook experts here.  Do you agree?
Is any DocBook expert reading this? 
(Posted also to doxygen users mailing list for that reason.)
