ok, if that's the case, could that strategy not be used by asciidoctor as well? if the equations
reach the docbook output in a way that dblatex can identify/use them, at least the xml -> latex ->
pdf route could be used with asciidoctor as well (and it would for this use case (equation heavy
documents) be neither than svg or png images, of course).

understood. I will have to try that, then.

I would if I could but I can't :).
