The cleanest way of handling it is to fix the DSSSL so that only a
specific number of revision history items are displayed. It is very
important to remember that DocBook is structural. Anything to do with
presentation should be done by the transformation tools! You should not be
altering the DocBook of a document to get the visual markup you want.
You should be able to add a DSSSL instruction to the actual DocBook which
would flag the transformation too to show only "5" (or whatever) items
from the revision section. If we have a DSSSL person around they should
be able to answer this for us.
