The DocBook Definitve Guide is always a work in progress. The PHP Manual
is a "work in progress" indefinitely and still, people are not scared
to use it as a reference :) My take is that we should use the DocBook
reference corresponding to the exact (or close to that) version we use.
See the DTD reference in manual.xml.
