Re: [docbook] Unhappy XEP: anchor as child of section

Yes, you should be able to place the anchor as a child of section.  This is 
a deficiency of the stylesheet that it doesn't handle it.  It is similar to 
the problem of indexterms markers needing to exist in both contexts.  If you 
would file a bug report on the DocBook SourceForge site, it will get fixed.

It hasn't come up before because when sections are processed, they are 
normally put inside an fo:block, so the fo:inline is not output at the top 
level.  I guess the context of your xi:include is not inside a section 
element, right?

Your customization works for me. I can't see why it would not work for you. 
You might put an xsl:message inside it to see if it is being reached, and 
debug from there.
