You can use DocBook 5.0 right now. It is not expected that there will be 
big changes between current "PTO" release and official 5.0 release. You 
can use current DocBook XSL stylesheets to process DocBook 5.0 content. 
Only limitaion here is that some features of DocBook 5.0 like 
annotations are not yet supported by stylesheets.

If all goes well DocBook TC will release "DocBook 5.0 HOW-TO" in October 
or November. In this document you should find more verbose answers to 
questions like yours.
