[moving this over to the docbook-apps mailing list where such topics are
discussed]
I think when Norm Walsh designed the nested div elements in the titlepage
mechanism for HTML, he was allowing for customization of attributes at each
level of nesting. But since most people don't do such customization with
XSL (they use CSS instead), then they become a lot of baggage. This
customization trims down section output a bit:
<xsl:template name="section.titlepage">
<xsl:call-template name="section.titlepage.before.recto"/>
<xsl:call-template name="section.titlepage.recto"/>
<xsl:call-template name="section.titlepage.before.verso"/>
<xsl:call-template name="section.titlepage.verso"/>
<xsl:call-template name="section.titlepage.separator"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="section" mode="class.attribute">
<xsl:attribute name="id">
<xsl:call-template name="object.id"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="title" mode="section.titlepage.recto.auto.mode">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="section.titlepage.recto.mode"/>
</xsl:template>
The first template is a copy of the section.titlepage template from the
generated html/titlepage.templates.xsl file, but stripped down to
essentials.
The second template puts the id on the outer div element, instead of on the
title div.
The last one eliminates the extra div around the h2.

Subject: [docbook] how do i get a common parent with a unique id?
I dont' much care for the <section><title>...</title></section> html
that is output...all I really need is to a unqiue id on an html tag
with the content as children.
something like would suffice:
<div id="foo">
<h2>Title</h2>
<p>My paragraphs</p>
<p>My paragraphs</p>
</div>
I have come to a block in my quest of customizing <title> markup as
explained here: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/HTMLTitlePage.html
The template/titlepage.xsl is not obvious to me, other than declaring
a bunch of parameters, used elsewhere...how it is generating:
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<a name="foo"></a><h2>Title</h2>
</div>
</div>
<p>My paragaphs</p>
</div>
