This is concerning. I never took Mallard as a big contender, since it
doesn't solve any of the problems with DocBook. For writers, writing XML
sucks. Now with Mallard we just say: "Hey - you just write less XML",
but it will still suck.

Yes, that is true. It feels a bit as if the documentation world splits
apart again in terms of tools.

I certainly can't understand from a users point of view, why we still
want to keep XML. I can understand it from a technical point of view -
yes ...
