I wouldn't ever use a WYSIWYG editor for something you'd like to call a source format. And I put MSWord in that group as well (actually, any wordprocessor).
From what I saw (took a quick look) from that DTBook, but that too is just an XML with a DTD (which XHTML is too).
I still prefer XHTML for two reasons. One, I can edit it with notepad if needs be and I can "preview" it in a browser. As long as you don't use a WYSIWYG editor HTML is perfect for the job.

Actually, I'd advice against using a WYSIWYG or MSWord (or any other wordprocessor) for creating HTML files at all...
