If anybody is working in that area, they've not told me about it.

The tools, such as they are, are for the conversion of DocBook template
files.  Most of the kernel's .txt files are already in something quite

The real question would be one of organization.  Most of the security
stuff looks like it properly belongs in the admin guide, but that's not
universally the case.
