I agree that you do not understand the complaints. It seemed to be
that DocBook (and especially the XML variant) are not the best markup
language for documentation production. Of course, "best" is
subjective and it seems that there are few features to be gained by
using DocBook over Tom's system, yet it would introduce new hoops to
jump through to get that little gain.
The responses for DocBook so far seemed to comment on charsets and
tools. Character encoding is trivial to specify and most people have
to download large tools to handle DocBook. Maybe Tom's tools need
improvement/porting to be friendlier, but that looks like a task of
about the same difficulty as recreating it all in DocBook. Then
again, I'd still like to see independent documentation under a free
software licence and if the proponent of that wants to use DocBook,
they can choose the format.
Maybe I don't get the full scope of the complaints or the responses
either.
