The DocBook developers mainly use a Java toolchain of Saxon and FOP,
aiui.

By following the same or closely related toolchain, we benefit in many
ways.

It makes sense to keep our work within the bounds of the formal DocBook
and XML specifications, for all the usual reasons.

If the problem is that Saxon and FOP are not in Fedora Extras, we will
get them packaged and maintained.
