Hi,
I was asked to contribute to some work for transforming XHTML into
IDML and was pleased with the results (given the circumstances). From
that background,
I agree with Jirka's assessment about transforming a subset of DocBook
and think this would be a relatively straightforward XSLT. I would not
try to roundtrip.
The project is open source and available at (from memory):
http://code.google.com/p/ickmull/
Regards,
Keith

I don't think that mapping DB tags to ID styles is the best approach
to import docbook files in InDesign. The DB DTD is simply to complex
to be managed efficently by InDesign.
Typical DocBook document uses 20-30 elements, you don't have to cover
full DocBook in custom solution.
I think the solution is an XSLT from DB to IDML.
But such transformation will require you to define formatting during
this transformation. Isn't there already conversion from FO into IDML?
This should be less effort. There are several tools for producing DOCX
and ODT from FO, but it would be nice to have ability to use
InDesign as
FO engine.
