I don't agree. It will be retrograde when the output formats are pretty and customizable enough.
in what ways are they inadequate?
Besides, db2latex is a kind of freestanding Docbook to LaTeX converter, using XSL!
sure. if I was doing the job, I'd start from that
Last, I don't see where confusion is: Docbook gives the structure, and latex the expected intermediate formatting output, even if it's true that latex is a mix of style and structure.
"normal" LaTeX does a lot of generation (TOC, index, list numbering, section headers, cross-ref text, cite text, etc), all of which are also done by eg the DSSSL and XSL Docbook systems. Thats the confusion that bothers me.
If I wanted LaTeX to format docbook, I'd use xmltex, and not do any translation at all.
