Consider combining 3 and 1. Store the questions and answers in
an RDBMS in plain text and/or DocBook; over time, the plain text
could be converted to DocBook. The RDBMS would help make
searching and retrieval more efficient.
When needed, the content is dynamically inserted into a qandaset
and converted to HTML via XSLT.
The advantage of DocBook over plain text (or HTML) in the records
would be both in the formatting and in enhanced searching;
indexes could be generated that would track all questions and
answers that include <productname>Project</productname>, for
example.
