I'm randomly assuming here you know more about DocBook SGML than I do,
so here I'm involuntarily inofficially  but you can back out of it
immediately appointing you the ZDP DocBook SGML expert. :)

I think perhaps the first thing you could do is get together with people
in the Latex thread for docs; they seem to have come up with it
independently. I know even less Latex than SGML and SGML seems a closer
fit with the XML-ish direction the web's taking, so my question would be
to point out the advantages of SGML to everybody.
