DocBook V4.5 is considered to be feature frozen. Any new developments
(e.g. adding new elements supporting new constructs used in
documentation) will be done only on 5.0 version.

Moreover, it is much easier to create customized version of DocBook
schema if you are basing it on DocBook V5.0 rather then on V4.x.
