Again, I don't know LaTeX, beyond having read about it in various books [1]. I would definitely lean towards DocBook, which I've used a little. What about tooling support? Editors with good XML support are fairly ubiquitous; presumably there are similar things for LaTeX available both to emacs / vi and to other editors? I'll have a look at what's currently in CVS with a view to contributing a DocBook version of some of it, and then look at the publishing chain. I have reasonable XSLT knowledge, so that shouldn't be too hard.
