I think the main reason is speed.
linuxdoc can be learned in hours (often no more than one). Docbook sgml
ml.. much more (I never manage to do it completely) and I will surely
_never_ learn docbook xml. I'm a documentation writer, not a coder.
If ldp was to accept only xml, I think the number of author will drop
significantly.
think that it's only for political reason I gives my doc to LDP, I
could as well have it in html on my own website (very well mirrored).
of course once OpenOffice or any other (lyx?) fine editor really
functional, no more problem
