Yes, that behaviour is not properly documented anywhere. I'm sorry about
that. The filename is now computed as follows:

1. If a filename is given by the "dbhtml filename" processing instruction,
that filename is used.

2. If the legalnotice has an id/xml:id attribute, and if the
use.id.as.filename parameter != 0, the filename is the concatenation of the
id value and the value of the html.ext parameter.

3. If the legalnotice does not have an id/xml:id attribute, or if
use.id.as.filename = 0, the filename is the concatenation of "ln-",
auto-generated id value, and html.ext value.

There is no original version of this specific template. Before DocBook XSL
1.73.1, it was applied since there was an <xsl:apply-templates
mode="chunk-filename" select="."/> in the template with match="legalnotice"
and mode="titlepage.mode".

But the "Filename of the legalnotice chunk" customization in Bob's book does
not work when using 1.73.1 or later, since legalnotices are no longer
processed using the "chunk-filename" mode. I introduced this change because
generation of separate legalnotices did not work with the nonchunking
stylesheets.
