Statement of Use for DocBook version 5.2

Hello,

    
I'm the Chair
        of the OASIS DocBook Technical Committee. The Committee is in
        the last stages of getting The DocBook Schema Version 5.2
        through the OASIS approval process. We need to submit three
        Statements of Use of the new schema, and I would like to ask if
        any participants in the DocBook user community might like to
        submit one. You need not be a member of OASIS to submit one.Â
        Here are the requirements for making such a Statement: 

    
      
It is a written statement that a party has successfully used
        or implemented that specification in accordance with all or some
        of its conformance clauses, identifying those clauses that
        apply, and stating whether its use included the interoperation
        of multiple independent implementations. The conformance
        clauses for DocBook 5.3 are:

        

      

      
        
This specification normatively defines DocBook V5.2 with a
          RELAX NG grammar and a set of Schematron assertions. A
          conformant DocBook V5.2 document must be valid according to
          both the grammar and the assertions.

        
The reference documentation describes additional constraints
          and processing expectations. A conformant DocBook V5.2
          document should respect those constraints and anticipate those
          processing expectations.

        
See http://www.relaxng.org/for
          a list of tools that can validate an XML document using RELAX
          NG. Note that not all products are capable of evaluating the
          Schematron assertions in the schema.

          

        

      
      
The Statement of Use must be made to a specific version of the
        Specification and must include the Specificationâs approval
        date. In this case DocBook Schema Version 5.2 Committee
        Specification 01, dated 19 July 2023, available at https://docs.oasis-open.org/docbook/docbook/v5.2/cs01/docbook-v5.2-cs01.html

        

      

      
The Statement from a nonmember should be submitted to the
        comment facility:

        http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/comments/form.php?wg_abbrev=docbook

    
    
The DocBook TC will evaluate and vote to accept any Statements
      that are submitted. Let me know if you have any questions.

      

      Any help you can provide on this issue would be much appreciated.Â
      If you are unable to submit a statement, perhaps you could refer
      me to other users whom I could contact.
