Folks,

What is the current state of the Docbook tools?  The `instant' based
transpec for docbook is ok, but not quite complete.  I've noticed
that some elements in the DocBook Dtd aren't at all handled;
anything under <biblio.*> for example.  Changing the instant transpec
is not for the faint of heart :(.

What is the status of the DSSSL based tools (jade et al), is there any
way of using Jade to convert Docbook to HTML,TeX  or *roff?

Thanks,
Koshy
