No, I recently put docbookh.xsl in there for that purpose. I
find it useful (er, necessary :-) to post-process my documents
(for example, with chunk.pl) and for that, I want them to be XML
so I can load 'em up with the DOM or a similar API.

Yep.

Yep^2. (Actually, I caught that myself yesterday.)

You're welcome. My pleasure.
