You can do it in {sg|x}ml and use something like docbook2man to generate
the manpages. I think it could be argued whether docbook is actually
easier than groff, but it vastly simplifies output in other formats (html,
print) and inclusion in general documentation.

I've attached an example conversion; see how you like it. It still needs
some tweaking though.

Hope that helps,
