DocBook XSLs affected by patent 7089492?

["Christian Roth" <roth@infinity-loop.de>]

Hello,

I accidentally stumbled upon this today:

<http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7089492.html>

which seems to claim a patent on converting CALS tables to accessible
HTML tables, though it claims to do this *not solely* based on XSLT.

Could the DocBook XSLs (specifically e.g. the HTML export) be affected
in any way by this?

Regards, Christian.
