Re: [docbook-apps] Draft watermark not working. No specific customization.

Hi,

>    select  = "yes" />

This style will work with the proper syntax in the select expression.  A 
bare word in a select expression is taken as an element name.  Since there 
is no <yes> element in that context, the expression returns nothing and the 
parameter is not set.  The stylesheet expects a string for that parameter, 
which is why Keith suggested adding the single quotes inside the double 
quotes, which indicates that the value is a string:
  <xsl:param
    name   = "draft.mode"
    select  = "'yes'" />

But such combined quotes are not always clear in many fonts.  Forgetting the 
quotes on string values is one of the most common errors in XSLT, which is 
why the syntax <xsl:param name="draft.mode">yes</xsl:param> is often 
preferred (but not required).
