Docbook is dead.. Long live HTML
Yay.. The Apache Camel project has started to generate some beautiful looking PDF documentation from standard HTML by using prince and the Boom style sheet against our wiki. We contacted the Boom folks and they cleared up the license terms of the Boom file so that it's officially open source. The Boom folks have relicensed under the very liberal MIT license.
Update:
An interesting thread docbook and HTML is going on at The Server Side.

Very nice.
I happen to like Docbook, but anything that improves documentation at Apache is a Good Thing.
Hopefully more projects will pick this up.

Well i just read your linked articles and had a look at the Prince license prices. Ok - who would pay prices like these?
I had a look at the GNU licensed java.net project. They try to achieve the same as Prince but haven't yet tested both.
In my opinion you can rebuild this kind of functionality for FREE in a much easier way.
