The only thing hard about editing the docs is if you do so on broken 
platforms :P

Seriously though. Docbook isn't for the feint hearted, especially if you 
are going to take into account the tools. Unfortunately as far as I know 
it is the only format I know of that is as flexible as it is.

Our only other real option is something like ODF and I really don't want 
to have that discussion.

Sincerely,
