Legal publishing domain

["Hanratty, John (LNG-LON)" <john.hanratty@lexisnexis.co.uk>]

Hi all,

Just wondering about the eventual # of users for docbook-for-publishers
among Legal Publishers? I don't know too many small/niche players in
this space - it's dominated by a few juggernauts with bespoke systems
who are unlikely to consider switching to DocBook. 

If others' knowledge of the market bears this out, maybe we shouldn't
spend too much time on this domain?
