Why?  DocBook is a structural markup language for documentation; it
does *not* specify the appearance of a document.  Troff is a
typesetting language; it is all about specifying the appearance of a
document.  Why would it be perverse to transform from structural
markup into a typesetting language for output?

It works well in practice.  I transform SDocBook documents into
groff regularly.
