I tried building this document on my local machine, and it appears that the customization doesn't work when using the DocBook 5 stylesheets (docbook-xsl-ns-1.73.1). Should I use the namespace-stripping stylesheets again, or is there an easy fix to make the customization work with the namespace-aware stylesheets? As I'm really an XSL novice, I might have more questions about using the customization. I've started by copying lines 16-143 into my customization layer. >> On a related note, have I mentioned that a DocBook "cookbook"--publishing >> effects and how to achieve them--would be a really great resource? > > Might be an interesting project to try to work on with a > collaboratively with a group of other people, and publish it under > an open-source license.

I'd like to involved in such a project, although my utility as an author may be limited. Still, what first steps would you recommend (assuming it's easiest to start with a collaboration of DocBook users)? Do you think the DocBook wiki is a reasonable place to start notes on such a collaboration? Thanks, Brett
