I am just catching up with all the posts. Are we talking about solving
a libX11
problem only, or are we talking about *all* of DocBook XML
documentation?

I can understand turning off doc build in some cases due to build time.
This can be done with
XORG_ENABLE_DOCS(no) or XORG_ENABLE_SPECS(no).

The conversion to DocBook/XML implies that the xmlto tooling was
adequate and available on
a reasonable number platforms. Including generated docs (of any kind) in
the tarball is a nightmare
which still has unresolved problems.
