I probably should clarify that the <?eval ${project.version}?> notation is
specific to the Maven docbkx plugin, which we use to generate the output.I also tried to create an entity file containing a version entity using the info from http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Db5Entities.html. When I tried to add the DOCTYPE element to refer back to the entity file, Oxygen rejected it as not being well-formed. So I couldn't test whether I could use an entity reference to incorporate the version number in the link target.
