Yes, I spoke to Shaunm the Yelp maintainer about this. He acknowledges the 
problems with support for certain docbook features and has long been trying 
to increase the number of formats Yelp supports. The addition of HTML is a 
good thing and will solve many problems for projects that want to use full 
features.
