Re: [docbook] how do i get a common parent with a unique id?

discussed]

I think when Norm Walsh designed the nested div elements in the titlepage 
mechanism for HTML, he was allowing for customization of attributes at each 
level of nesting.  But since most people don't do such customization with 
XSL (they use CSS instead), then they become a lot of baggage.  This 
customization trims down section output a bit:

<xsl:template name="section.titlepage">
  <xsl:call-template name="section.titlepage.before.recto"/>
  <xsl:call-template name="section.titlepage.recto"/>
  <xsl:call-template name="section.titlepage.before.verso"/>
  <xsl:call-template name="section.titlepage.verso"/>
  <xsl:call-template name="section.titlepage.separator"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="section" mode="class.attribute">
  <xsl:attribute name="id">
    <xsl:call-template name="object.id"/>
  </xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="title" mode="section.titlepage.recto.auto.mode">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="section.titlepage.recto.mode"/>
</xsl:template>

The first template is a copy of the section.titlepage template from the 
generated html/titlepage.templates.xsl file, but stripped down to 
essentials.

The second template puts the id on the outer div element, instead of on the 
title div.

The last one eliminates the extra div around the h2.
