The easiest one to work with is probably DTBook since it's basically XHTML with just a few semantic elements. TEI is incredibly powerful but might be overkill for what most people need.
I expect this is what will happen. It also has the advantage of pushing most of the complexity into the tools which is exactly where it should be.
OTOH, it will require a lot of work for those of us who want to do it now, before the tools mature. I don't know if I'm happy or sad about that
