Wow, 1.5 years ago, *nobody* in the Linux world knew what docbook was
(that's when Mark Galassi, Jason Molenda, and I started looking at it
at cygnus, which led to the redhat and debian package, and the use of
docbook in MarkG's Guile docs, which I think is what bootstrapped
it...) It should be clear that "most Linux-related projects" is quite
an exaggeration.

Hmmm, there was talk of (1) an "info"-like browser that would use
Docbook or (2) a translator (translators from SGML/XML are relatively
easy, but texinfo is at a "weird" level, part formatting part abstract
layout...) but I haven't seen either; this was considered a benefit of
"lout" at one time.
