Like someone else stated, I too have played with the thought of converting
the XML to something ready for publishing. In my test, I converted it to
LaTeX. An example output can be seen at
http://dev.gentoo.org/~swift/tmp/handbook.pdf.

The process is quite automated although I do have to fix the LaTeX code
using a shell script before I start rendering it as PDF.
