Re: [docbook-apps] DocBook epub3 beta 3 stylesheets available

Hi Jirka,
I ran into this same problem  when creating the beta epub3 stylesheets.  I had to add 
some templates for isbn, issn, and biblioid for epub metadata, so I needed to include 
an updated titlepage.templates.xsl in the beta distribution.  For the beta, I admit I 
just edited it by hand after generating it so it would have that default namespace and 
work in the beta.  I presume you created a custom version from template/titlepage.xsl, 
and that is where that namespace gets lost.

I think perhaps we need separate template/titlepage.xsl files for the different 
namespaced outputs.  I haven't looked into it yet, but that would probably be  easier 
than trying to do it with one stylesheet and different namespaces.  I'm not sure how 
to do it, though.

OK, problem were in titlepage.templates.xsl file. This file was missing
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; and thus generated <div
xmlns=""...> in the middle of XHTML5 output which confused software.

This is known problem for customization of XHTML titlepages as well. Do
we already have some solution for this? In past I have used brutal text
replace on resulting .xsl file to add default namespace declaration.
Might be existing template/titlepage.xsl should be customized to handle
this automatically.
