Re: [docbook-apps] Errors when processing a custom cover page template

["Dan Ochs" <dan.ochs@gmail.com>]

You are probably missing the namespace declaration from the stylesheet
element in your saba-docbook XSL?

xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";

it would look something like this:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
          xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"; version='1.0'>
