DOCBOOK: Why are legalnotices dropped?

[Scott Bolte <listS+docbook@niss.com>]

	I'm using DocBook (SGML) 4.1 to create an article. I want
	the articleinfo to include a legalnotice section. To my
	surprise, the legal paragraphs are dropped in the html output
	using Norm's modular stylesheets.

	Going to the archives, I found a message from Norm stating
	what needs to be done to enable the output of the legal
	notice.

	http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook/199910/msg00064.html

	However, I don't think it is a good idea to rely on the
	author having to always update the style sheets for something
	as critical as a legal notice.

	At this point I'm going to abandon the use of legalnotice
	and use a warning or something else that will highlight
	the importance of the message. Before I do that though,
	I'd like to make sure I'm not missing some reliable way to
	get the notices included, and to ask what the logic is
	behind not including a legal notice.

		Thanks,
