Almost no one wants the learning curve of DocBook XML anyway, which is
why all the talk about Wiki has been dominating the list of late.  Most
people seem to do their drafts in HTML, and now that OO.o is a
possibility, I suspect many people will make use of that as well.  Those
of us using Emacs (or vi) with XML facilities are probably a minority at
this point, so this is probably all moot.  I'd bet that using a subset
is going to inconvenience as many people as it would help.  This is not
to say the idea has no merit, more that the ship has sailed...
