Maybe I misunderstand, but I don't agree.  You code for structure in 
DocBook, but you need the formatting handled externally: in a CSS file 
for HTML, and a ConTeXt environment/module (I'm not clear on the 
difference) for PDF via ConTeXt.  If not, you lose flexibility.

Like I say, though, perhaps I am missing your point...
