Yes, I'm at the beginning still exploring the paths of possible customizations,
and therefore I'll try not to ask stupid questions (as before) before doing
my homework :-)

The possibility to author DocBook documents and get TeX quality output with the
coherent package like ConTeXt looks worth some learning curve.

Thank you for your pointer for further "research". I've found that enco-mis.tex
handles this D&dstroke mechanism since they are resolved as \DJ & \dj commands,
but I don't have any idea whether it can be used somehow to solve my problem.

Any hint?

Yes, it looks nice. 

I hope that by improving Unicode mappings, the need for handling different
encodings will be reduced, at least.

Sincerely,
Gour
