(1) It's butt-ugly, like all sgml derivatives. Its extremely verbose
tagging syntax puts the emphasis on the tags and not on the text.
Indeed, it seems to be _worse_ than `traditional' sgml; at least the
docbook source I've seen wraps _every_ paragraph in <para>...</para> --
nice for the document processing program, not so nice for the document
author.
(2) It's heavily promoted by Eric Raymond; that alone should give you pause...
