That worked fine thanks.

That did not go so well.  The mere copying of the graphical.admonition
section into my customisation layer changed the behaviour: the image
disappeared and I got two extra XHTML validation errors.  The relevant 
snippet
of XHTML code is:

==============================================================================
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml"; class="important"
  style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
  <table border="0" summary="Important">
    <tr>
      <td rowspan="2" align="center" valign="top" width="25">
        <img alt="[Important]" src="/images/docbook/important.png"/>
      </td>
      <th align="left"/>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td align="left" valign="top">
        <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
          Throughout this website, the navigation bar will remain fixed in
          position when you scroll down the page
          <span class="emphasis"><em>if</em></span>
          you use a browser with good support for Cascading Style Sheets,
          such as Firefox or Internet Explorer v7.
        </p>
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</div>
==============================================================================

============================================================================== 

The new errors are:

Error /Line 47 column 42/: value of fixed attribute "xmlns" not equal to 
default.|
...div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml*"* class="important"||
style="margin-left:

|Error /Line 47 column 110/: document type does not allow element "div" 
here;
missing one of "button", "map", "object", "ins", "del", "noscript" 
start-tag.|
...in-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"*>
*<table border="0" summary="Important">
|============================================================================== 


I do not see how copying some of the XSL unchanged into my customisation 
layer
could change the behaviour and am worried I am missing something obvious :-)

Done.
