First I want to thank for the Docbook support, which I missed (and thus
I didn't wrote Docbooks myself but sticked to TeX itself). Thus I'm
completely new to the Docbook format.

Some things I observed:

a) Using <author><firstname>Tobias</firstname><surname>Burnus</surname></author>
   there is no space between first and surname.

b) What is the best way to typseset
     http://www.docbook.org/xml/mathml/1.0/testmath.xml
   I somehow failed to get the mml: namespace -> mathml working

c) The xtag-docbook-literals-de.tex: \def\XMLDBstartquote{``} are not
   the quotations used in German (,, ... '', see lang-ger.tex)

d) What I think would be nice if the author and title could be
   automatically mapped to the \setupinteraction[author=,title=]

e) The <!DOCTYPE ... [ <!ENTITY chap1 SYSTEM "chap1.xml"> ]>
       &chap1;
   doesn't work here. Is this a problem of ConTeXt or is this SGML
   instead of XML or ...?

f) HANS: Is it possible to map the encoding in
     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
   automatically to a input regime - at least if it is present?

With warm regards,

Tobias
