Don't write off <!-- comment -->. You can put structured documentation inside
of comments and then use XSLT to extract it into a more meaningful context.
The following isn't tested. It's not elegant, but it should work. 

Input:
<!--
  <h1>Documentation</h1>
  <p>Here's some text.</p>
-->

XSL:

<xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
    <head><title>Docs</title></head>
    <body>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="//comment()" />
    </body>
  </html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="comment()">
  <xsl:if test="starts-with(., 'doc')">
    <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="." />
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
