The ideal is to have a simple, rigid, semantic markup in the source document. While I dislike XML at least as much as the next guy, it is probably the best choice for this. Ideally, the DTD should be a lot simpler than DocBook, but OTOH, DocBook comes with a lot of conversion methods for free.
You are not forced to use all the different markup facilities. Somewhere in the DocBook documentation they state (or used to state) that at many points it's up to the writer how detailed he/she wants to markup his/her texts. In addition, there is Simplified DocBook (see http://docbook.org/). By the way, DocBook XML is defined by Relax NG schemas nowadays, not DTDs. Well, there are DTDs available.
