     It's not something we explicitly put in the source XML; it's
a consequence of the Docbook 4.3 processing chain using

http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/mathml/1.1CR1/dbmathml.dtd

so if it's affecting our documents, it's probably affecting other
people using Docbook as well.

     I guess I'm wondering why the Docbook stylesheet distribution
seems to be setup to cause this to happen, then.
