Using an old version of DocBook is usually ok since no backward-incompatible changes are introduced in a series (4.x). So if your DocBook file validates against the 4.1.2 DTD, it is likely to also validate against the latest 4.5 DTD. However, you definitely want to upgrade your XSLT stylesheets to the latest 1.73.2 version. A fop1.extensions parameter was introduced to take the specificities of FOP 0.93+ into account (like this page-master ‘blank’ problem), and a lot of bugs fixes and new features are introduced every time. If you’re not familiar with XSLT it’s the way to go. Watch also the docbook-apps@ [1] mailing list for help with customizing the stylesheets.
