Thank you for the resources, David!
I'll check them out. Probably some of them could be packaged for Debian
(most likely into non-free, because of no-modifications or so), I'll check
the copyrights.
I was quite confused the first time I tried sgml. I knew nothing about it,
downloaded the nsgml parser and run it on a test document. It was fine. But
I was disappointed, that this "was all it could do, verifying" (I set it in
"", because I realized that it is more than that). However, eventually I
found out that one would need Jade.

Yes, it seems to be very upcoming. This also explains why the Stylesheets
provided in the docbook-stylesheet package are not the best one could
imageine, I would think (the output was somewhat buggy), and there are some
missing features (and I'm too unexpeprienced to extend the SGML or DSSSL
data). However, things will improve over time (I guess the chances are not
very high that O'Reilly will publish their converters ;)
Thank you again,
Marcus
