It looks like RedHat partially did.

I understand that but apparently in practice converted document are pretty
much compliant except for this specific problem (or publican managed to
integrate solution/work-arounds for most of them).

You might want to review their stylesheets to look for changes to
integrate:
https://fedorahosted.org/publican/browser/trunk/publican/datadir/xsl

On the other side, Jeff, you might want to push some of your "fixes"
upstream so that you can simplify your stylesheets in the long term and
so that everybody benefits from them and not only those that are using
publican.
