Well something would be better than nothing :-)
My own view: latex and html are very different from docbook.
1. latex and html are specific presentation formats as against docbook
which is a general content format
2. Conversely no one wants to use docbook for itself but rather as a
stepping stone to something else -- typically pdf/html but in
principle any arbitrary 'end'-format. This means that
docbook-exporter allowing for potential docbook errors is a smaller
problem than making impossible something which
a. can be/is already available in org
b. is supported in the 'end'-format
c. but is unavailable in the interim (docbook)
One such thing which may not be meaningful in latex and html but is a
lack in docbook is property exports.
Maybe if you or Carsten feel this should not go into org then
org-special-blocks is the place for it?
