I've been through the SGML vs XML debate a couple of times. For larger 
documentation projects, I have opted for SGML for two reasons:
- More knowledge, more tools, more support, etcetera;
- If you need the advanced features of SGML, they're there; if you don't, you 
can always "downgrade" to XML by the time that the standard is in widespread 
use.

This (plus the non-availability of DocBook) where the main reasons for the 
SGMLtools project sticking with SGML, and I think they're valid here as well.
