The sample on the Wiki page is an XML, though. If you look at the DocBook spec's intro[1], it says:

> DocBook is general purpose [XML] schema

DocBook is originally an SGML DocType and most of the DocBook formatters are written in DSSSL. Large amounts of documentation for open source software (and large amounts of O’Reilly books) is still SGML DocBook.
