Hmm. Structured FrameMaker and XML source might work. Maybe I'll give
that a try.

From looking through the crucible screen shots, it looks like it has the same problem as RB and gerrit:  it's designed for *code.*  The input is text.  You get changes as code diffs.  You can put raw HTML into it, but then you run into problems with reviewers having trouble visualizing what the doc looks like when rendered, and of different HTML formatters creating spurious changes based on line breaks.
