Dear Ramon,
Wouldnt it be possible to put in an RFE to try and 
get mathelement, maththeorem etc into DocBook? 
I imagine its the lack of support for/demand by mathematics users that has 
allowed DocBook to progress so far without such elements. 
Adding them may help to broaden the user base, save you
having to hack the dtd, and also permit interchange between  
dbtexmath and db2latex rendering methods.

Or are they so incompatible?
just a thought
Doug
