:-) Maybe. I would suggest that for now you use "jade" (from our
distribution) with its own flags to point to your DTD and stylesheets.

I agree that DocBook would not do well for that, and it would violate
the spirit of SGML.
I think tha the DocBook tools project should consider this issue (of
DTDs for non-technical use) because it would be nice for people to use
the same tools and types of scripts for DocBook and for
poetry/fiction/whatever
Does anyone (Norm?) know much about these more "casual" DTDs?
