I'm wondering if the patch at

should be added to BLFS.
I commented out the
XSLTOPTS="$XSLTOPTS --nonet"
and rebuilt xmlto, and it took care of the problem.

The first rule is that a patch is either necessary, or useful. We
have a few patches in -patches which people have considered useful
for specific cases, even though those cases are too uncommon to
include them in the book.
But you haven't explained what the problem is!
And although I'm not averse to taking patches from everywhere (even
BSDs, if I can find them), I tend to be dubious about 'homebrew'
because that implies building for OSX and I do not regard that as
having very much in common with our systems. So, I haven't looked
at it for the moment.
FWIW, the second rule (sometimes to my annoyance) is that if it is
simple, we usually prefer sed to patch.

What might be desired for BLFS is simply a patch that comments out
XSLTOPTS="$XSLTOPTS --nonet"
in the file
xmlto.in
The problem is that when compiling programs that use docbook, which uses xmlto,
you get a build error like
"unable to load
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl";
even when internet is available, because that line blocks internet access.
