Sure, if that makes sense from an infra perspective.

There is no published official RST to guidexml conversion tool that
anyone is prepared to admit to having written at this stage.

Also, you'd need to prod the docs guys to remove some of the annoying
chapter / section restrictions if you want to use guidexml as a
generated format for news items. It's hard enough mapping GLEPs onto
that...
