Postgresql uses Docbook 4.2 and openjade/dsssl style sheets.
Is there even a remote chance for you to migrate to XSL stylesheets ?
I'm not sure the DSSL ones are maintained at all at this point, so
improvements, fixes, and customizations are much easier to get with
XSL.
P.S. It's a shame, since I much prefer DSSL to XSL.
(And I don't know either well enough to be able to
whack out a migration of DSSL to XSL.)
(Though I do "like" working with xsltproc.)
I don't recall what the arguments against moving to XML/XSL were other
than inertia.
It's surely true that the number of tools supporting XML/XSL and the
number of people capable of working on an XSL based system (e.g. me)
greatly exceeds those for SGML/DSSSL. I know certain prominent
contributors who utterly detest having to work with SGML.
