    On point M, I can confirm that Penguin UK have adopted DocBook 5 in
    Relax NG as our XML standard, we did this in mid-2007.
    
    Penguin Books are a Pearson Company who are Oasis members at a
    Contributor level.
    
    Let me know if you need any further information, testimonial etc.
