I did a couple man pages, and Eamon & Peter have done a couple larger docs.
For examples of what we did, see:
	lib/libXcomposite/man/   (but note bug #12725)
	lib/libXtst/man/
	doc/xorg-docs/sgml/core/Xserver-spec.sgml
	doc/xorg-docs/specs/Xi/protocol.xml

Obviously it would be good to establish some conventions for consistency
(sgml or xml for instance).
