Surely,
XML+DocBook(DSSSL)+jade+[jadetex,pdfjadetex]+Makefile+emacs(psgml)
is also great multiplatform toolchain which also runs "out-of-the-box" ?
[OK, a HOWTO for setting up ISO entity catalogues and catalog search order
would have been handy :-) ]. My point is that Docbook/XML can be used for
markup without having to go down the XLST path, while still leaving XLST as
a future option.
