I'll be integrating XML support in the docbook-utils package. You are welcome
if you want to help. However I'm not sure that it will be based on libxml,
it could be based on xalan/xerces as well. I'll be doing performance tests
as well. One issue I also want to resolve is support for DTD and XSLT customization
like KDE and Gnome ones: XML is poor at finding where files reside (unlike SGML)
and this could be helped by choices at LSB normalization level.
Ralf, I'll suscribe a bit later to LSB discussion lists and try to catch
up with this thread.
