This, by the way, would be a great feature for Wikipedia to be able to use; we'd certainly like Wikipedia articles to be convertable to DocBook XML format. That's what we decided we wanted to use as an XML DTD for Nupedia, and surely we'd want to use it for Wikipedia too.
I'm not convinced that DocBook is the best DTD for this kind of content. I like it very much for (computer-oriented) technical documentation, but for a more general topic?
The proposal was to use an augmented version of it; we'd add lots of new elements of our own. Please see the tools-l mailing list archives for more information. There's no point in going over this all again.
