It is our policy.
The LDP officially supports:
SGML - Linuxdoc, DocBook v3.x, DocBook v4.x
XML - DocBook v4.2 or v4.1.2
That is *clearly* stated on the authors page (tldp.org/authors/).
As to complicating, I do not agree. Our publishing system
easily supports these various DTDs and it provides the author
with choice and flexibility. As to what is better...again, it's
up to what the author wishes to maintain the document in.
Sorry, but I don't see this as problem. Quite the opposite.
