titleabbrev, docbook v5

[davep <davep@dpawson.co.uk>]

http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/titleabbrev.html
says
"One common use of|TitleAbbrev| 
<http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/titleabbrev.html>is for the text 
used in running headers or footers, when the proper title is too long to 
be used conveniently."

I can't find any customization that indicates that I want to use this 
for running headers?
header.content sets a call to
<xsl:apply-templates select="."
   mode="title.markup"/>
to obtain the title value...

Is it right to use
apply-templates select="." mode="titleabbrev.markup"/>
which seems to work fine.


Leaves the problem of a chapter title that is too long
for a single line.
Shame this couldn't be processed in the same way....
    Unless you know better?
