This stalled a bit, but the waters are still muddy...

Is the Sphinx/reStructuredText table support adequate for media/v4l
documentation?

Are the Sphinx output formats adequate in general? Specifically, is the
lack of DocBook support, and the flexibility it provides, a blocker?

Otherwise, I think Sphinx is promising.

Jon, I think we need a roll of dice, err, a well-thought-out decision
from the maintainer to go with one or the other, so we can make some
real progress.

BR,
Jani.
