Great to hear that you will be on XML 2004. I will be there too, presenting paper about indexing in DocBook.

Welcome news indeed. It's likely I'll follow suit for the Europe conference.

Speaking of writing conference papers in DocBook - I tried doing that but finally had to convert the papers to LaTex so I could get the IEEE or ACM formats required by the conferences I submitted to. Is there (or will there ever be) a good repository of transforms to these types of standard conference formats?

If getting a halfway decent looking layout is the first 90% of the effort required to write a print stylesheet, the second 90% is getting a layout that matches exactly a particular set of specs.

I bet it can be done, but I don't know of anyone who's working on it right now.
