Re: [docbook-apps] How to depend on language?

["Chris Chiasson" <chris@chiasson.name>]

Both the xml file and the xsl layer should have sections that deal
with both languages - languages are just a special profiling case.
There should be no need for multiple xml source files unless you have
a large document.

I don't why your legal statement is coming out wrong, though.
