As things are today it is not possible to have dependencies between

feature of Cocoon blocks (wiring.xml) to manage ingheritance between
plugins.
In other words we can write a docbook plugin that extends the XHTML
plugin. It will use the docbook stylsheets to convert to XHTML and then
the XHTML plugin to convert to our internal format. I've not found a use
case strong enough for me to take the time to implement this yet,
however, if anyone wants to tackle it I'll be happy to pass on what
Daniel showed me.

I didn't say there weren't valid use cases I said "I've not found a use
case strong enough for" *me* to put the time into it.
It's your itch, you'll have to scratch it. That is the Open Source way.
There is plenty of discussion about this in the archives, you and I have
discussed it to death before - the situation is still the same and the
design is still the same, it is unaffected by the move to XHTML2, unless
docbook provides a set of stylesheets to XHTML2?
