Which other XML dialects are taylored specifically 
for the purpose of writing non-technical prose? Now I tend to
(ab)use DocBook for this (or LaTeX, while I dislike Macro's).

The demands for such literature are less complex which
justifies specialized dialects.

I personally have to admit that in tech. docs I can always
come up with a title for each seperation. It's only for
non-technical prose that I desire another means to add a
"pause" or a "seperation".

Perhaps I ought to use the right tool for the right job ;)
