Micheal mentioned XEP, and I'll mention Antenna House's XSL Formatter. The latest version has a beta MathML module. It also is a commercial product.
Both of those products handle most of the XSL-FO 1.0 spec and produce high quality output suitable for publication.

Hello,
why did nobody answer my mail?
Meanwhile, I experimented with other ways of converting DocBook XML to PDF and found out that neither of them is really satisfying.
So I ask myself what you people out there do to convert your DocBook XML files to PDF. Or if you can live with line breaks after list bullets, strings like "--4pc" inserted in your output, missing author lines etc. etc.? If you accept overly large spacing? If nobody of you uses MathML embedded in DocBook XML or if those who do can live with formula output which looks like it would appear in your children's excercise-books? (If you don't know what I mean, see http://jeuclid.sourceforge.net/screenshot01.jpg.)
I would be really be happy if someone could take the time and tell me a way to generate PDF from DocBook XML (preferably with MathML) that actually works well.
Wolfgang
