I would strongly recomend going this way.
1) For the author SGML is more as simple.
2) A SGML-dokument can be *easy* automatical transformed in almost
evrything else. (like roff, TeXinfo...) The applications for that
are free avialable.
3) The structure of a man-page is simple, so a small tag-set would be
sufficient.
4) For speed it would be a simple task to write a parser, accepting a
small SGML-tag-set of point 3) and format it for a tty. But I think
the existing applications are as fast as needed.
