Have you used DocBook much?  It's a fairly intuitive SGML/XML DTD geared
towards technical documents.  A lot of the major open source projects
are using it (q.v., GNOME, KDE, and now Wine).  I imagine it'll be
around for quite some time.  It's rapidly becoming an informal standard.
Stylesheets exist (http://nwalsh.com/) to convert it to HTML, PDF,
PostScript, and probably others.
