That would be part of it, yes.
For an idea of something I'd like to be able to support, go look at

Not yet. SGML is more flexible than XML, and we can, if absolutely
necessary, pre-process the SGML to produce compliant XML, before
processing with XML tools.
For the time being, the doc project sticks with SGML.
I know that DocBook 4.0 is slated to be the last major SGML DocBook DTD,
as 5.0 will (apparently) be XML only. That change is at least 18 months
away.
