how to customize XSL stylesheets (was Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: [Fwd:[Fwd: First Open Source DocumentationSummit at the O'Reilly Open SourceConvention]])

[I've trimmed the cc list to docbook-apps.]

I'm using a customization layer like so:

  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
    <xsl:include href="/util/sgml/xsl/docbook/html/docbook.xsl" />

    <!-- *jcw, 6/6/00: suppress remarks -->
    <xsl:variable name="show.comments" select="0"/>

    <!-- etc. -->

  </xsl:stylesheet>

So I process the document with a command like this:

  xt foo.xml docbook-jcw.xsl foo.html
