Documentation files in html format?

Since the network device documentation needs a rewrite, I was thinking
of using basic html format instead of just plain text. But since this would
be starting an new precedent for kernel documentation, some it seemed
like a worthwhile topic for discussion.

Advantages of html:
* basic formatting like lists, italics, etc
* easier to integrate into other places and retain formatting
* ability to link documents and to external sources easier

Downsides:
* can become too formatted and unclear
* accessibility and translation issues?
* even more style issues
