Docbook Vs. Other Formats for Gnucash Documents

I've once more looked at docbook and all its promises, but see no
significant progress with free tools to convert it to other than html.
 Not only that, docbook-xml isn't even guaranteed to ever be powerful
enough to produce beautiful documents using all the power of TeX (see
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSL_Formatting_Objects#Drawbacks_of_XSL-FO>).

I would like to hear any thoughts about changing from docbook-xml to
another format with currently available tools that can produce html as
well as pdf (I'm considering ConTeXt for one; see
<http://www.pragma-ade.com>).
