Ah, I finally had a chance to try this out.  Pretty slick!
I'm not sure I did it right, but I got a lot of output that looks roughly 
correct.
(I'm still getting the Olink errors, but I'm ignoring those for now, because we 
already
know why those are there)

I have one observation/question here -- the output files seem to be 
"docs.sun.com-centric",
in that the output files all have the Sun navbar (with Sun Logo, Products,
Downloads, Service & Solutions, Support, Training, etc.) at the top.  At the 
bottom, there's
a link to the Sun Company Info, Privacy statement, Terms of Use, etc.  So, the 
pages that
are generated are really specific to Sun's Solaris website, rather than being 
specific to
OpenSolaris itself.

I noticed that the HTML files that come in the docs-20071121.tar.gz file are 
also
Sun-branded files, rather than OpenSolaris-branded or generic files, as well....

My question:
At some point, will somebody be creating an OpenSolaris template, so that the 
docs are
OpenSolaris docs (of which Sun will have its own Solaris flavor, branded 
separately)?
(OK, I admit this was a suggestion in the form of a question... :-)

The broader question:
This brings up the broader question of how the branding differentiation will be 
done
in the docs.... Has that been figured out yet?  The docs all say "Solaris" in 
the
source .xml files.  Perhaps there should be a standard ENTITY definition that 
could be
used to distinguish these....  e.g. the docs distributed with OpenSolaris would 
say
"OpenSolaris", and the docs distributed with Solaris would say "Solaris".
