Hi Dave,
The Website stylesheets are not in any namespace, so they would be DocBook 4
compatible.
If you are doing mixed DocBook 4 and 5 processing, then you could stay with
the non-namespace-aware (original) stylesheets, and use the strip namespace
feature again for any DocBook 5 documents. The namespace-aware stylesheets
were created because there were some circumstances when the strip namespace
prefilter created some problems, because it is done by processing the
document into a variable, then using exsl:nodeset() to convert that to a
nodeset, and then applying templates to the nodeset. A nodeset loses its
xml:base and so relative filename references can get lost.

Actually, no, the preferred option today for DocBook 5 is to import the
namespace-aware stylesheets with '-ns-' in the distribution filename.
Those are the same as the main xslt stylesheets, except all element names
are handled in the DocBook 5 namespace, and the no-longer-necessary
namespace stripping operation is not performed. Then you can use
match="d:poem" in your stylesheet customization layers.

So I should be picking up
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/snapshots/docbook-xsl-ns-snapshot.zip
which has the xref bugfix... Which may leave me with a problem.
Is the website 'as was' or is that namespaced too please Bob?
I guess I should now start splitting up my xsl stylesheets;
docbook-xsl (basic 4.5 + website)
docbook-xsl-ns (for v5)
I really need to document all this! Processing docbook all over my
disk I'm always getting caught out! If it's not the stylesheet
names it's the graphics location!
Thanks Bob.
regards
