Re:Book Publishers seldom use Latex, Docbook, etc.

True. In fact, many publishers require authors to submit manuscripts in Word format, which is then pulled into something like Quark or InDesign. Or even FrameMaker (viz. O'Reilly and Associates).

And I agree: it's a bear to change the margins in LaTeX. Easier in DocBook; just create a customization layer.
