Agreed that was the basis of docbook Jirka. The TC probably has
better definitions in the archive, but from
http://www.docbook.org/specs/wd-docbook-docbook-4.4CR4.html
<quote>DocBook is general purpose XML and SGML document type
particularly well suited to books and papers about computer hardware and

applications).</quote>
Since people are asking for more literature based markup, has the tc
considered a sane system of extension to address *some* of these,
