Which is what I assumed was the case for most folks, as I know how
insanely busy most (if not all) of us are these days. That is why
I assumed no one commented. Which was fine with me... my reason for
creating the file was mostly as a learning exercise to see how to
create a XSLT customization layer on top of Norm's stylesheets.
It just seemed to be an interesting exercise to replicate the ldp.dsl
functionality over in XSLT.
What I just found entertaining was the comment on *this* list that we
needed a customization layer... which I had just sent out two weeks
ago on the *other* mailing list! :-) Hence my message....
If you do decide to play with XSLT, check out DV's xsltproc. Install
two RPMs (libxml2 and libxslt) and then Norm's latest XSL stylesheets
and you are off and running. You don't need the DocBook XML DTD, nor do
you have to muck with any catalog files. Simple. Easy. And it
generates nice HTML code.

P.S. For those reading this who don't know, DV's software is at
http://www.xmlsoft.org/XSLT/ and the latest stylesheets are off of
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/
