First, let me add my congratulations to that of others. This really is very nice work.
One thing that might be attractive to people is the possibility of using DocBook 5 export possibly plus some XSLT or something of the sort to produce ebooks. This has been much discussed on the user list. You might see if Steve Litt is interested in this, in particular.

I had a look, though quickly as I was looking for whitespace issues. The proof here will definitely be in use. It would be great if we could get some testing. The XHTML code has some known issues. Hopefully, some of these will have been fixed in the translation, but some of them will probably linger. It is really, really hard to get the tag nesting right all the time. > - As with any new feature there are likely some hidden issues and > we would benefit from docbook users feedback and I'm not sure how > to proceed. > We could ask on users lists for the feedback (and perhaps > persuade JMarc to release 2.4alpha1, which would be just quick > technical preview with zero quality ensurance and sole purpose of > testing docbook - so interested users do not need to compile?) > We have done some 'monthly' releases of this type. I'd be happy to produce one, if it seems like a good idea. Riki
