Hi Trish,
There is an annotated example that does just that in:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintHeaders.html

[modesty aside]
This is a perfect example of why
anyone who wants to customize the DocBook XSL stylesheets
should use my book "DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide"
(available at Amazon). If you can't afford to buy a copy,
you can read it in HTML at the above site.

Don't take my word for it. Norm says "Buy this book!"
