No reason it shouldn't work, though I don't think anyone has touched it in
years.

If you're writing a book or something, unless you need something that
supports every obscure variant of footnote ever used in an academic paper,
you might want to look into variants of Markdown and similar less invasive
plain text markup.

The value of docbook is that you can use version control and build your
output in a flexible way - xml isn't particularly good or bad for that,
it's just a way to get those other benefits. It is nice structurally in a
way that markup that guesses whatIncantation of headings  means "end of
previous section" can't be, but that's not so massively useful that I'd
miss it for most things.
