So Mr ignorant creates an instance of the latter.
Takes a liking to using dc:author for instance.

Tries to validate against docbook and receives this funny error
(which says nothing about version, or dbpubs....)
What is he to make of that error?

If some part of the processing reported that 'hey, this instance
is dbpubs, you're using docbook' then he might be wiser.
