Docbook bookfile

[Heiko Haida]

Hi Wim, 

the new FM 12 XML Author tool would create book files, but only xml
files for chapters inside etc. 

So your authors could work with this tool. It looks like this is want
you want (any DTD would work). 
Publishing would be done afterwards with a regular FM (not necessarily
FM 12).
