Ain't gonna happen though - too much invested in it for a wholesale replacement, unless you're volunteering to rewrite the handbook and FAQ documents from
scratch in a comfortably finite period of time.. :-)

I have to wonder why you can handle troff (yuck!)  and not SGML
though.  It's not as if the markup languages are THAT arcane, and if
you've learned one you should be able to learn the other (the rest of
us did, and we had nothing more to go on than the examples :-).
