The XML (DTD schema) based approach is ideal for what you describe...  It is
extensible (The X in XML) and flexible to allow multiple "Document fragments" to
be integrated.  The data itself could be administered using a servlet, JSP, or
any off the shelf XML editor...  Maybe the Apache guys will consider it as a way
to adminsiter Apache itself?
