Not a lot of response, so I'm going to assume everybody
on these two lists just trust us on this.

We use index.page for Mallard and index.html for HTML, so why
don't we simplify this whole thing and always use index.docbook
for DocBook? We don't need to worry about compatibility with
GNOME's existing documents, because those are in a different
location and referenced with a different URI scheme.
