I guess we need to be explicit about what is required. My belief,
although I may be wrong, is that using DocBook would give more otions
about the target output format. LaTeX lets you target PS and thus PDF,
but I don't know what else it can do. I've also heard that it tends to
be quite tightly coupled to the presentation layer whereas DocBook
gives more options; just insert a modified XSLT into the XML
publishing pipeline, or modify your CSS if you're producing good
semantic XHTML. Then again, do we require that sort of power here
anyway? Do you have a view on that?

That was my plan.
