Do you ever find you need to "tweak" the original XML markup to get an acceptable PDF result? Hopefully, answer is "no" since "yes" violates separation between content and style even if style is stretched to mean processing environment.
I find that sometimes I'll modify tables manually to make them look better on the page. Other than that, I usually modify the stylesheet. But there are some elements of DocBook that I don't use...so I may be missing some ugly bits.
I include some hyphenation exceptions in jadetex.cfg and I customize my stylesheets. I include equations as *.tex files. I have to manually "float" formal objects by moving them around in the source; if a formal object (table, equation, figure, etc.) gets bumped to a new page, its LOT entry gets the wrong page number. I place them so that they are always somewhere in the middle of a PDF page.
I proof my document as PDF. If it looks good there, the HTML will be fine.
