There's a guy from Caldera (I'm not sure if he's still there) actively
working with it, but the project leader is not from Caldera.

It works with the above distributions, since the docbook-utils is LSB
compliant (in fact, it's the tool we've developed after standardizing
several things for the LSB).

Still, docbook-utils is a full implementation of the LSB
recommendations and was developed with compliance on several systems
on mind.
It works with many distributions (Conectiva, Debian, Caldera, SuSE,
RH, etc.) and produces a nice output.
I'm not a fan of them, but I think that recommending their use is the
best way.
I don't think that this is subject to this list. We could discuss in
PVT and post a summary of this to the list after we get somewhere :-)
