yes, of course, thats the whole point of using DSSSL!

very true. thats the price you pay for using an unproven formatting
language, not fully implemented :-}

sorry, but i think you are in trouble if you try and solve things by
hacking the output. it would be much better to write a trivial Docbook 
to LaTeX converter and use normal LaTeX stylesheets, if you need the
facilities. after all, if you only use the TeX backend of DSSSL, it
does not buy you much.
