Good lord that's a while ago. :-)  

I'm afraid I've not done much with DocBook since then.  I have one big DocBook 
project that I manage, but it hasn't had much in the way of changes since 
then save for me breaking my build environment on a regular basis.  My XSLT 
skillz, and DocBook skillz in particular, have gotten a bit rusty in the 
interum.  I'd love to see a cleaner, leaner, modern-structure XHTML output 
option for DocBook, but I've not had any time to work on it nor do I expect 
to for some time.  (I'm off in PHP land speaking my native language. <g>)

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
