Actually I just inspired Nicolas to make db2context since I saw his
db2latex package (clone of the original db2latex), and I'm trying to
help him with my "knowledge" about ConTeXt.

What I like with XSLT is that the user get ConTeXt source which can be
further manipulated and we are thinking about providing some
customization layer by using many parameters available within ConTeXt
setup commands.
However, it would be helpful to get the feedback from experienced
ConTeXt users so that the transformation from DocBook elements into ConTeXt
commands take advantage of poweful ConTeXt's commands.
