Folks here who use DSSSL (seems to be a distinct minority!) might be
interested in some of the recent work I've done in the DSSSL
stylesheets.

If anyone is interested in helping me fix some outstanding DSSSL
issues, or testing to ensure I haven't broken anything; please getthe
CVS modules from the docbook open repository on sourceforget (gentext,
dsssl, and testdocs) and try them out.  Debian users can also try the
unstable docbook-dsssl package instead, which I've been uploading from
CVS snapshots now and again.

If you have questions/comments/patches please CC me directly so I get
them more quickly.

I've included a trimmed CVS changelog.

        * html/dbtable.dsl (1.5): Improve table rendering using frame and
        border attributes on HTML tables, conditional on HTML4 support
        being on.
        
        The following cases in table.006.xml are now fixed: outer edit
        (table frame but no rowsep nor colseps); rows (frame is topbot,
        rowsep but no colsep); columns; tic tac toc (no frame, colsep and
        rowsep).
        
        Note we still have no way (yet) to override colsep/rowsep in either
        colspec or in the individual rows, but I'm working on colspec ->
        colgroup.

        * html/dbblock.dsl (1.9): move the anchor closer to the content in

        formal and informal objects reset the processing mode, this closes
        Debian#79432f; so <bookinfo><productname> is still in special mode,
