No callouts, or numbered listings, though. NOTE: the current version of the docbook xsl stylesheets (1.45) is the last version that'll support XT. Norm's officially dropping XT support, so the debian/docbook/xt combo may run into trouble very soon -- which is OK, since XT's limitations are starting to become a problem. You could also try a different JVM. gcj is really fast, so is the latest one from IBM. But XT will always be faster than saxon. Of course, xsltproc rocks, but doesn't always get along with the docbook stylesheets (for me, anyway.) Hope that helps.
