Yes.

Some of those problems are limitations from linuxdoc...

Please remove the indentfirst from the preamble. I have been lazy and the
name will change from latex preamble to sgml/xml preamble when typing
linuxdoc/docbook documents.
Sorry for the confusion.
Also you should remove the extra options from the document layout, where
it has "pointednumbers" you should remove it since the extra options have a
different meaning here.
After this changes you should have no problems. One small item is that
linuxdoc only expects an abstract with one paragraph. And some of the
complains come from that problem.
Tell me if this works.
