A little prodding now and then is a wonderful thing.
I've finally looked at DocBook2X, and it seems to do a good job of
turning DocBook XML into texinfo files.
Since it uses an intermediate close-to-texinfo XML format, I'm also
making good progress on a stylesheet for transforming the XSL spec XML
into the intermediate XML format. It's unfortunate that the
intermediate format is undocumented.
The stylesheet should also be useable for the XSLT and XPath specs as
well.
The other alternative was a Wiki, specifically an EmacsWiki Wiki, that
could be turned into texinfo, but that wouldn't have also allowed the
transforming of the W3C specs into texinfo the way that DocBook2X
does.
It appears that texinfo has its own XML format, but it also appears
that's only an output format from makeinfo, not an input format, and
the sample that I looked at looked closer to real texinfo and,
therefore, harder to generate than the DocBook2X intermediate format.

Tony Graham.
