At least when using FOP, I don't have the impression that the XSL route
is yet ready for DocBook. One has to explicitly specify column widths in
tables, chapter/section names in headers are not yet supported because
fo:marker (hope I got it right) is yet missing in FOP, etc. I also heard
of some difficulties when working with larger documents (which means more
than some 20 pages).
