Btw, last time I looked at DocBook, I didn't find it extensible the way 
I would have liked.

In my opinion, we should have an XML standard that is easily extensible, 
and that completely separates semantic elements from its rendering.

That would make it possible to manipulate documents and extract 
information from them in a powerful way, without losing information. And 
also render the documents for different mediums in a correct way.

I don't understand why there's not something like that. I don't think 
DocBook is that, but it should have been.

That's what XMLEruditeBook is about.

If someone can illuminate me about this, it is welcomed.
