Sounds very interesting. I just have one concern/question. I hope that while moving away from latex, we are not precluding the ability to write math as part of the documentation. What would be my choices for add math to the documentation? Hopefully using latex, since there really isn't AFAIK any other competitor for this.

Where in the current documentation is there any math notation /at all/? In all my reading of it, I have not run across anything that appeared like it was being used. Besides that question, is the full power of LaTeX math notation really necessary here? I somehow doubt anything more than simple expressions of runtime performance and container behaviors are appropriate for any documentation we have.
