Sigh. The easiest way to get XHTML strict out of the stylesheets is
almost certainly to run tidy.

I appreciate that people would like to be able to get strict output
from the stylesheets for arbitrary DocBook, but it would be very, very
hard.

However, if you exercise some control in your DocBook sources, it
should be fairly easy to get strict XHTML.

If you find otherwise, I'd be interested in seeing the examples.

| Wow, this started quite the thread.

|Examples might be always supporting putting an alt attribute for all images, allowing

DocBook meets those requirements, I believe. Last time I reviewed the
W3C XML Accessibility Guidelines, I thought DocBook passed. Dave
Pawson might know better than I.
