| passivetex works on FO files, whereas using xmltex with a special
| DocBook map file would create native LaTeX code and let (pdf)latex
| typeset the document - a task which TeX solves really excellent.
My experience suggests that the mapping from DocBook to TeX is, uh,
non-trivial. I think PassiveTeX is a much more logical
solution...although I suppose you could argue that there would be
advantages to a really good mapping to LaTeX for journals that have
existing LaTeX styles.
Be seeing you,
