A number of HOWTOs have been converted and are maintained in DocBook
form. These include:

   GCC HOWTO
   PA-RISC/Linux Boot HOWTO
   RPM HOWTO
   Cable Modem Providers HOWTO
   DHCP miniHOWTO
   Lilo miniHOWTO
   LVC Cluster Configuration HOWTO
   Online Troubleshooting Resources: HOWTO

Other HOWTO-like documents are written and maintained in DocBook:

   An Introduction to SCSI Drivers
   Booting the Kernel
   Gnome Display Manager Reference Manual
   Advice for Mailing List Owners
   ...and more.

All of these docs are part of the Open Source Writers Group
documentation repository. The OSWG repository _only_ uses DocBook as a
source documentation format.

As for your other questions, I don't currently have time to respond to
them at the moment, but I will unless someone else does so firt. SGML &
the DocBook DTD are currently the most powerful and effective tools for
the job at hand for a variety of reasons. As I said, however, I don't
currently have time to outline those reasons for you.
