As I wrote, because the final output quality of "direct" transformations
from Docbook to PDF (which means Docbook -> XSL-FO -> PDF) is not as
good as Docbook -> LaTeX -> PDF final result.
It's worth noticing that if you have access to a commercial formatter
for XSL-FO you'll probably be able to obtain LaTeX-like quality without
passing through LaTeX.
Cheers.
