It certainly is a powerful tool to deal with the complicated Docbook DTD and files. One has complete access to the elements of the files, and XSLT is a powerful transformation language. I am not quite sure if XSLT is more suitable than Context mapping. I think that the more complicated the DTD and the files are, the more advantage there is in using XSLT. So Docbook is a good candidate. Good luck with it.
