I think some support for automatic extraction from DocBook has been
discussed on ldp-meta and even something has been implemented. It is
called db2omf, the author says it has been added to the CVS, but I
couldnt find it. You might want to check their web site, mailing list
and get in contact with the author. The OMF web site and mailing list is
available from scrollkeeper.sourceforge.net.
