Hartmut tested the XSL sheets to generate PDF with
FOP and maybe some other tool too. What was the
problem is that FOP does not support some formattings
generated by the DocBook XSL sheets, and some pages
looked crappy.

The other problem I have faced with the
XSLT sheets in HTML generation is that the TOC cannot
be limited into something that can be handled by a
person. If you look at the TOC of the new CHM
edition, you can see that it simply contains all
the subparts and subchapters, down to the function's
documentation pages. It is more then 300K in size,
the full TOC of the manual in a single HTML file.
Imagine to come up with such a TOC at
http://php.net/manual/en ...

I have contacted the DocBook mailing list sometime ago,
and they said that there is no solution to our roblem in
the stylesheets (to limit a TOC to 2 level deepness for
example), so we need to have our own TOC generator code
as a customization of the DocBook one. There are parameters
in the style sheets which seem to be appropriate for
us, but as it turned out after conversations with the
authors, they mean something different...
