I can assure that the DITA TC understands your frustration with lack of
information on DITA how-to and best practice. The DITA Adoption TC is
working to produce papers that do provide just such best practice and any
feedback you can provide on what you need more information about will be
very helpful indeed.

I can also say that the people who would be in a position to write the sort
of DITA books the community needs are also up to their elbows getting the
DITA 1.2 spec done and out for approval. Once that is done I suspect you
will see a flurry of DITA books that provide the sort of practice guidance
you're looking for.

Cheers,

E.
