DocBook has even ConTeXt output
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dblatex/files/dbcontext/

Actually it produces quite obsolete syntax, but it is a good starting point
for further tweaking. Exactly this I did in my recent project.

While my resources are very limited, if any effort in this field will start,
I can share my DocBook/XSLT experience. It could also be a nice GSoC project
for students:

Btw, I prefer DocBook over lightweight markup languages (Markdown, Asciidoc)
as latter lack semantics and advanced structuring, which may be limiting in
some projects requiring advanced formatting.
