Indeed!  Linuxdoc was based on Qwertz which was (explicitly)
based on LaTeX (inspired by Scribe and so on).

I just committed a Docbook to HTML transpec for instant.  There
is a lot of work yet to be done, but it is fairly usable for
relatively short documents (there is no splitting into separate
nodes yet).  I'll bring the DTD in when I get a chance.  (those
chomping at the bit can fetch it for themselves :)

If the results are pleasing, and you are willing to help out some
more with the transpec, I strongly recommend using docbook
instead of linuxdoc.
