I'm pretty sure Dave Pawson has an FAQ about this, but unfortunately his site appears to be down at the moment: http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect1/sect1.html
For now see this thread on docbook-apps: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/200111/msg00190.html If you have trouble getting it working, I recommend posting a question on docbook-apps. Maybe a small test case and details about your toolchain and customization layer.
