My trust in Bob (and Norm.... and the Oasis WG) goes perhaps a bit further. I've been using docbook since... a long time. So far, whatever they have done, I have built on, rather than deprecated.

As soon as Norm feels a bit more confident I'm sure it will become more stable. Don't you? Think longer term perhaps? I don't see Bob|Norm....and the WG as 'in it for the short term gain' do you?
