Subject:   Why SGML for docs?

I have seen that FreeBSD makes calls for SGML documentation. I know HTML
and it is easy and pretty powerful with HTML 4.0 and CSS.

I took a peek and SGML and my hair turned white. My brief look at SGML led
me to think HTML is pretty good. I don't need to look at SGML. I am happy
with this small subset.

What makes SGML useful for docs? Is it conversion tools for different
formats? Is it the power?

I guess the short question would be, "Why should I learn SGML?"
