Ah, yes.

Hmm.  We in Debian use /usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/xsl/nwalsh/

Better to follow even a flawed std than none at all?

Sidenote: I really don't see what the big deal is though with mixing
XML and SGML stuff in /usr/share/sgml -- most of the tools I happen to
use work perfectly with both, and I haven't seen any big problems with
the mixture. But I wouldn't really make a fuss either way.
