Re: [dita-adoption] Comprehensive Feature List For DITA 1.2

[Kristen James Eberlein <kris@eberleinconsulting.com>]

Stan, you might want to get in touch with folks at Hitachi. They had 
(and have) significant content in Docbook, and have done a lot of work 
in this area. They also have robust Docbook2DITA and DITA2Docbook 
transformations, so I assume that they built pretty clear mappings.

Best,
Kris
