This is what I know...
a) I haven't been folowing any of the lists extensivly other than
that which get's commited to CVS and things on -devel..which I get
so much of I don't read it all. :)
b) Things are moving more and more to xml...the help io bits have been
(and are still being) converted to xml. Which ties into what you state
above.
c) The current kdb2html in kdelibs requires docbook-utils
d) docbook-utils is just a bunch of wrappers around jade that allows for
converting SGML into another format (man/html/etc...)
e) I have no clue what package xml-dtd-4.1.2 would be in or if it's even
packaged...
I do plan on figuring this out as soon as I remember to do so when I have a
moment. :)
