Agreed, and this is why we normally upgrade to the latest version of DocBook 
when time permits.  And this is why I wouldn't have any problems in committing

But the crucial point you're not making clear is *why* does LFS require that 
customization feature?  What is it you think LFS will gain by such 
customization?  And why can that not be gained without the customization 
feature of RNG?

Thanks,
