I think when we started infra-docs we just wanted simple... 

I have no objection to standardizing them to use a common markup and
header. I'm not sure how much good they would do other people published
out to the world, as they are very specific in many cases to our
infrastructure, but perhaps someone would find them of use. 

I could see a use if there was a way to say publish them as epub. Then
infra folks might be able to have them locally in smartphones or
tablets in case online wasn't practical for some outage or other
reason.
