As a happy user of dblatex, I'll second Benoit's (and Robert Buergel's) response. We use it for typesetting grammars, where the primary language is English and the secondary languages have challenging scripts: Bengali, Urdu, Pashto, which I think would be doubly challenging if we used the standard XSL-FO approach.
We've needed to add a few xslt transforms for specialized constructs found in grammars (like interlinear text--and of course we've added those constructs to our DocBook schemas), and we've made a few other modifications to particular transforms for specialized sorts of things. All these changes are kept in separate files and survive upgrades to dblatex.
Benoit also mentioned xetex. Since I assume your DocBook documents are in UTF-8, I highly recommend using xe(la)tex as your back end, rather than plain latex. Xetex comes with the TeX-live distro, so if you have that you should be all set to go.
