Re: [docbook-apps] Docbook IEEE transformation?
Aha! They call them "manuscripts" not reports or papers or publications. 
Suddenly searching is much easier.

IEEE Publications and Standards:
http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/index.html

Somewhere in there I'm bound to find the spec.

Re: not a commercial target — they claim 1300 standards, 140 journals, 
850 conferences, and a bajillion members. If they're not using Docbook, 
perhaps there's an opportunity for someone to get them off the MS Word 
habit.
