Bob, it seems like a misunderstanding. I know they are different things 
and I don't use the old slides stylesheets. I *develop* slides 
stylesheets for the new schema I created with the support of Google 
Summer of Code. The XSLT code I write is based on the official DocBook 
XSL stylesheets. My extension handles the slides-specific elements but 
the schema allows DocBook inline and block elements on foils. To process 
this, I import xhtml/chunk.xsl and call xsl:apply-templates, so in the 
end the informaltable that I have in my slides document is processed by 
the DocBook XSL templates and this is what I'm talking about. This is 
the way how I discovered this behavior but then it can also be 
reproduced with an article or book.
