What you say is indeed rather meaningless. Virtually every XML
document conforms to some DTD, which lists allowed tags, nesting of
them, etc. DocBook documents are XML files conforming to a DocBook
DTD; this DTD was produced by OASIS. There is also a DTD for SGML, but
it is rarely used nowadays. See
http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/ch01.html
for details.
