I know exactly nothing about Jade - I use an entirely XML based
toolchain, and that would be my recommendation.  Those errors don't seem
to make a lot of sense.  If you have xmllint, you likely also have
xsltproc, which will perform XSL transformations[0].  The DocBook-XSL
project[1] supports XSL transformations from DocBook to many formats,
including XHTML and XSL-FO[2] (Formatting Objects).

Take care,
