So far, Org, ReST, Markdown, and Texinfo sound like the best
options, indeed.

Texinfo requires an extra step (generate Info) before rendering in Emacs
but has the advantage that this rendering already exists and that
Texinfo is the standard GNU documentation format.  It has its
weaknesses, but it's a tool we know (i.e. which is why we already know
its weaknesses).

I'd be interested to see some sample rendering of Markdown, Org, and ReST
both in HTML and inside Emacs, for comparison.
