I understand what Eric is saying, but be aware that are no
(element) differences in *DocBook* SGML v. *DocBook* XML.
The DSSSL argument is certainly true. The LISP-like language
of DSSSL is not something for the faint-of-heart!
The LDP leaves the choice of DTD in the hands of the author. We support:
Linuxdoc SGML
DocBook SGML v4.2, v4.1, or v3.x
DocBook XML v4.2 or v4.1.2
