Can  it provide EPUB or MOBI output?  Some of the documentation systems used in 
various open source products have that capability, and that is very nice to 
have.  I have seen this from the one used by the Python project, for example.  
Converting other formats to EPUB sometimes works tolerably well, but often not 
-- in particular, PDF to anything else is generally utterly unuseable, which is 
actually a design goal of PDF.
