trying to document "Authoring and Publishing" package breakdown

[Robert P. J. Day]

  for the sake of a short talk i've agreed to give (and which i will
post to my wiki ASAP), i'm trying to enumerate the various fedora
packages related to publishing, mostly related to XML and docbook.  as
a start, i wanted to list the minimal set of packages one could
install to get a full docbook/XSL/HTML/PDF toolchain. and here's what
i've come up with so far:

  libxml2:		(for xmllint, xmlcatalog, libxml2.so)
  libxslt:		(for xsltproc, libxslt.so)
  xml-common
  sgml-common
  xmlto

for stylesheets:

  docbook-style-xsl
  docbook5-style-xsl

for DTDs:

  docbook-dtds
  docbook5-schemas
  xhtml1-dtds

for PDF generation:

  fop

optionally for editing:

  xmlcopyeditor


i haven't tested the above yet, but i wanted to take a simple docbook
source example and show how to generate various output formats, and i
wanted to first demonstrate the *minimal* package set needed.

  thoughts?  anything i've forgotten?  any other packages that would
be worth showing once one gets beyond the basics?  publican, for
instance.
