I don't think this is true. Initially the format might be inspired on DocBook, but as far as I know the DTD's are build up from scratch based on needs. If I recall correctly, a lot of inline markup is actually 'borrowed' from HTML, to ease transition from the then HTML docs into XML.

It's fun to work with standards, isn't it! ;) It was once decided to use a common tool chain, so that the output would be similar and diffs kept to a minimum. You might have noticed that the output HTML is committed into the repository.
