hello,
first: thanks for this thread! -Tlint is helpful.

so is fortran probably. this is not about being relevant: it's about
being here in an economic system with no interest for hidden technical
details.

I loved the docbook structure and metainfos but ran away because of
xml. Nowaday i have the same problem with html so i wrote a preprocessor
and finally switched to a more popular one from the js world: pug (wich
was close enough from what i had anyway). so now i can reconsider
xml(svg,...)/html the way i consider the ps or pdf format:
i never edit or read it.
the combo pug/docbook would be nice to me but i have the feeling that
xml (and its well deserved decay) killed docbook. is the docbook community
still active? are the tools maintained?
regards
marc
