It's simplified docbook and is definitely geared toward site
documentation, but decent PDFs can be produced.

If you have existing tools that work with full docbook I would say stick
with them. What's in Doxia is simplified docbook support.

People develop abstractions by generalizing from concrete examples.
Every attempt to determine the correct abstraction on paper without
actually developing a running system is doomed to failure. No one
is that smart. A framework is a resuable design, so you develop it by
looking at the things it is supposed to be a design of. The more examples
you look at, the more general your framework will be.
