I've been feeding the docbook generated html to the w3 validator
  https://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_upload
and so far the only error has been tables inside of paragraphs.
Apparently this is an error:
  <p><table> ... </table></p>
  Error: No p element in scope but a p end tag seen.

Quick test: remove a <para> from around a <programlisting> in developer.sgml
    <!-- para _LR_ -->
<programlisting>
/* This is not a local include, but requires a path element. */
#include <sys/fileName.h>
</programlisting>
<!-- /para _LR_ -->

make dok & the validator now reports one less error.

I can work on removing <para>s from around elements that get turned
into <table> if you'd like
