It appears that I've let myself be lured into an import precedence 
issue. See:


http://docbook.10921.n7.nabble.com/RE-docbook-para-customization-affects-footnote-numbers-td3638.html


The solution offered by that same URL is to use in my customization layer:

<xsl:template match="para[not(parent::d:footnote)]">
...

I'm happy with this solution, that is, as long as it lasts.

It seems to me a fragile solution, because it'll make me run into the 
same kind of trouble as soon as any template matching:

      yet-another-element/para

is added to the stock docbook stylesheets.

I find it difficult to decide whether it's best to accept this 
fragility, or pursue a more robust solution (which isn't very inefficient).

Any thought's about that?

Best regards,
