Why to customize DocBook

DocBook schema is very huge
- more then 400 elements
- DocBook is interchange format which should cover needs of everyone
you want to restrict your authors to a subset of the DocBook schema to enforce stricter document creation guidelines
you want to add new elements to capture domain specific information
benefits of customized schema
- easier editing environment for authors (no need to cope with 400 elements)
- added value from new semantic elements
