We have a "contrib" area in the DocBook project CVS.

  http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/docbook/contrib/xsl/

If you want to send me your stylesheet , I can check it in there.

An sample doc instance might be good too. See the "resume"
directory for an example structure -

  http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/docbook/contrib/xsl/resume/

Same offer for anybody else who has done custom work that you
might want to share with others. I would be happy to add it to
that contrib area. When the project was first set up at
Sourceforge, that was part of the original plan, and the reason
for the name DocBook Open Repository. Just been lazy about
encouraging people to contribute.

The olink and manpages stylesheets both began life in the contrib
area before graduating the the standard distro. So it's always
possible that other things added to contrib could eventually end
up getting merged up into the standard kit.
