Nothing in our parent prevents you from using apt documents. Just put
them in the src/site/apt folder and make sure they have a ".apt" extension.

For an example have a look at the source for Maven Site Plugin itself:
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/plugins/trunk/maven-site-plugin/src/site/
It uses documents in apt, xdoc and fml flavors.

That being said, I think you'll find the formating options to be about
equal between the two.
