if you send me the .tex file, I will try to look at these. I feel too
tired to work out what I have to do with your print.dsl which
references things I don't have and dont want to have
like "cygnus-both.dsl" :-}

that was fixed in openjade, wasnt it?

pass. depends on what the DSSSL says

to be honest, unlikely to be fixed unless they are easy. 
i really do not have any resources to work on jadetex. but if you send
the .tex file, I will see what I can do.
