ok I don't know much about this so take my views just for what they are
worth: this seems all very complicated to me. What is wrong with
converting the documents into html and uploading them to the support
section of the Ubuntu website?

As for what will be deployed with the distro, has this application that
you speak of been confirmed with the boys who make these kind of
decisions? I feel that it will be necessary for them to make the call as
to what sort of application documentation will be viewed in. It also
depends fairly significantly on upstream considerations from gnome/kde
as far as I can see.
