There are two major reasons.
- Many tests are for Beamer: someone would need to write the layouts for
it, there is little from the other documents that can be used for Beamer.
- There are modules that are hard to support (they would need a lot of
custom code only for one module). Basically, that means that LaTeX and
DocBook are vastly different in terms of concepts and levels of abstraction.
I think I "documented" the inversion in the commit messages. Overall,
having all tests pass would require tens of hours of work, which I
preferred to invest in improving the quantity of the existing
implementation.
