RE: [docbook] customize xslt or customize the schema?

[Tim Arnold <Tim.Arnold@sas.com>]

thanks for that idea--now I have my Examples in the Examples section mapped to 
<section role="example"> 
and my Outputs mapped to 
<example role="output"> 

and the doc is validating. I wasn't thinking of an 'example' in the right way.

much thanks,
--Tim
