Alexander has given us some very nice info on i18n that we can include
in the book. In some cases, he works around to font issue in
explanations for the xml.
We should probably try to incorporate actual characters in the book when
appropriate.

Alex, if you have any input on this issue, please let us know.
Sorry, I am not an XML expert.
I tried experimenting with a small XML sample, attached. It does
transform to HTML correctly with the current xsltproc command from LFS.
But, I had no luck with PDF. PassiveTeX is, in principle, capable of
transforming FO files with non-ISO-8859-1 characters to valid PDF files
(see examples that come with it). But, it has certain limitations (see
http://www.tei-c.org/Software/passivetex/index.xml.ID=body.1_div.6) that
make PassiveTeX completely unusable for processing FO files created by
DocBook XSL stylesheets.
As for FOP, I currently (until 2006-01-11) have no internet connection
other than GPRS, and downloading Java (a dependency of FOP) via GPRS is
simply too expensive for me. Their example PDF file
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xmlgraphics/fop/branches/fop-0_20_2-maintain/examples/fo/advanced/cid-fonts.pdf
is damaged and doesn't display Japanese correctly in xpdf.
