- I think we asked ourselves the same question before the last release,
and decided to keep it - I don't recall the reasons
- I think I read a similar discussion on the TeXLive list this year, and
it turned out that some people use xmltex
On the other hand: Do you have further information on ConTeXt's
abilities wrt XML files? Does it need the usual "fo"-processing à la
xsltproc -o fo.xml \
/usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/xsl/nwalsh/fo/docbook.xsl Input.xml
