I would strongly prefer to use the already-developed tools and work to
convert the AdminRef to POD and maintain the man pages in POD. I find POD
about an order of magnitude easier to edit and maintain than DocBook
refentry. Note that this work is mostly done and I'm just waiting for 1.4
final and some final consensus to commit it to mainline and start working
on it in earnest.
