Thanks Bob,
I guess what I was really wondering though was whether there was a 
method to serve raw DocBook XML documents and format them client-side 
in the web-browser using only javascript and CSS, bypassing (X)HTML and the 
XSLT processing stages altogether?
The impression I get is that some kind of HTML wrapper, or insert, with a 
<script> element is essential, but that would then make the DocBook invalid.

Thanks again
Doug
