Sure, but typing docbook markup is not exactly the most exciting part  
of writing documentation.
There are pseudo html markup for "writers" that automatically produce  
html through Perl for ex.

I write a lot of html by hand and I know I'd love to have a simple  
way to write formatting/structure information. And I really don't  
care much about the output as long as the input is simple enough for  
my fingers.

Plus it's got to have a lisp like syntax otherwise it won't work  
nicely for people who are user to write a lot of lisp. Well, I don't  
really know about that but I figure that it would just be like typin/ 
applying functions to strings.
