Right. Basically, I took your advice (from the comment) and didn't go
with the whole named template thing.

So I think it's exactly as you say. If you don't want to override the
root, then you just import docbook.xsl and off you go. In the unlikely
event that you do want to override "/", you can, provided you do the
couple of things I suggested.

Or do I missunderstand your question?
