Having looked a little further at TEI and DocBook, it seems that TEI is the one I'd go for. The main reason is that it includes support for variant text.

It seems to me I might be looking at a two-stage translation process. An XSLT for TEI->XHTML/ePub, and then an XSLT for XHTML -> Mobipocket HTML, ready for KindleGen.

But I'm not certain. I suspect I shall start by trying out a document with a small sub-set of TEI-lite, and see how far I get.

There certainly do seem to be far more XML/XSLT tool out there now. It's just a question of finding one that fits in nicely with what I want to do.
