I just committed the first go at an xml transformation system for the module docs. I should have mentioned in the commit message that I didn't invent all this myself. The inspiration and much of the code comes from jakarta-site2, and mainly Jon Stevens and Craig McClanahan.
The documentation for the new system is at http://httpd.apache.org/docs-project/docsformat.html Note that, although we do need a full-blown xml transformation system to create the html docs for final distribution, you don't need one just to view or work on the docs. For example, view http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_setenvif.xml in any recent browser, and you should see the transformed xml with stylesheet applied. So, now I could use some help. In particular, each of the module docs needs to be converted to the new format. This shouldn't be too difficult, because Rich and others have already done the work of making all the docs xhtml. All you need to do is grab mod_something.html, and using mod_setenvif.xml as an example, plus the docs referenced above, change it into the new format. This is a great job for anyone out there looking for something to do. You don't need commit access; just post to the mailing list telling us what you're working on. Also, feel free to hack on the manual.xsl and other build files. What I did certainly qualifies as a hack job. The XSL stuff might look intimidating, but it only takes a little time to figure out what is going on. (And a google search for "xsl reference" or "xsl tutorial" will find plenty of good stuff.)
