I'll echo Kern's thoughts on DocBook. [....]

My LaTeX experience is minimal, and I don't intend to be a DocBook apologist, so I can't really comment on your experiences. I've found DocBook, esp. in conjunction with the XSL stylesheets produced by Norm Walsh et al., to work quite well for screen-oriented documents. Page-oriented publications (like O'Reilly stuff) or those with heavily tabular material (like cookbooks) haven't been my concern.

The lack of polished editing tools wasn't really my concern either, considering that most folks who use and know about bacula probably do most of their text editing in vi or emacs anyway.

That said, I have no agenda. If DocBook isn't your cup o' tea, then feel free to ignore it. :-)
