	As far as I understand, it can import from docbook format, but
I can't find informations about output.

	In fact I will be happy to use _ANY_ free system that helps a
bit the management of a docbook bibliography. I'm quite desperate,
since I spend more time trying to solve this technical issue than
writing.

	I am a bit feared to have the choice between switching back to
MS-Word / Endnote and lose the days I spend learning docbook and
collecting the tools, or typing all my bibliography in raw xml by hand
(which might already have been done if i didn't try to find a lazier
way to do it).
