Hum, one of the thing which strikes me is that there is no
direct
DocBook XML -> TeX
transformations. Basically they require going through FO where the
semantic is lost and only content/formatting is left, where then TeX
is generated.
Granted, LaTeX is not TeX, but isn't there more semantic to TeX than
just content/formatting . Wouldn't a direct DocBook XML -> TeX transformation
makes senses (I'm not asking if someone wants to do it or if it's simple ;-)
