XML is good.  I wanted to pick a format which could be
created & read by web browsers on any platform. Something
simple to create and easy to use.

Well, since you mentioned suggestions and comments... :)

If I were starting a documentation project now, I would use XML, which
can be translated to HTML, and translated to TeX for printing, and
translated to anything else needed, with some work.

Our group here started off 10+ years ago in LaTeX, which also works
well for HTML with the latex2html converter. But that was 10 years
ago, and it appears XML and associated tools have matured enough to be 
really useful.
