I think it should be an optional setting, defaulting to SGML.
i.e. change "output-format=s" to "output-format:s".

Other than that it looks OK to me.

Does it output valid XML now?

Yeah, this is too much hassle to change at the moment.

Though I wouldn't mind if it output to ./docbook when --output-format=xml
was used.
