Maybe anyone could post some small examples of DocBook and whatever
the other DTD's are called.  The SGML and XML material I've seen tend to
spend very little time dealing with how real documents and stylesheets
look like...

And I assume there tools around that makes conversion to/from (la)tex
nearly automatic?
