Perhaps DocBook SGML vs. DocBook XML is what Jacek means? I've just recently
heard - from Michael McElree, a Sun guy who very kindly offered to work with
me on the evil Sawfish capplet docs - that Sun use SolBook, a subset of
DocBook XML.

Because DocBook rocks! :)

The GDP seems to be sticking with DocBook SGML for a while (mostly because
of toolset issues), but trying to keep XML compatibility. This is the best
way to go at the moment


All I have to say about the tools is, the more the better! :) DocBook is
however, the main event.
