Welcome back :-))

So I'm very likely to enhance support for it. Since
sDocBook offers a richer vocabulary than xdoc I'll need to include
some information in classes, e.g.

  sDocBook  --Forrest--> HTML
  <literal> -----------> <span class="codefrag">
  <userinput> ---------> the same

  <figure>  -----------> <table class="ForrestTable">
  <informaltable> -----> the same

I would add classes to the sdocbook-plugin's output that preserve
the more detailed information, e.g.
  <literal> -- sdocbook-plugin -->
    --> <code class="literal"> -- document-to-html.xsl -->
          --> <span class="codefrag literal">

These classes get lost in Forrest's output stage, so, I'll have to
add them to a number of elements. I did the commit below to see if
anybody objects. And Thorsten did.

I still cannot see the "nightmare" that Thorsten mentioned.
Thorsten, can you explain what you mean?
What do others think?

I was awaiting Thorstens response to your response, assuming that he had misread what you were doing. I don't see a problem with it either.
