Hi Norm,

indeed, I am interested in the charter aspect on this discussion list.

As Bob pointed out, our current charter states:
"Most requests for enhancement that are not motivated by a requirement 
in computer hardware or software documentation are considered out of 
scope. It is not a goal of the Technical Committee to expand the scope 
of DocBook to include additional, unrelated problem domains."
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/docbook/charter.php

I would like to propose that we revise the charter to more clearly 
support structured content in both the technical publications and 
commercial publishing domains. They are both related domains as to the 
structure and nature of their content (books, articles, periodicals).

Best regards,

--Scott
