The build systems used for older documents should remain in place for the purpose of producing revised editions - for one thing there may not be resources to devote to moving to a new system, and for another it's necessary to generate diff markup. Most specs in the XML Activity today use xmlspec or some variant of it, and XSLT to convert that to XHTML and in at least some cases to PDF.
