I can't see for which OO version(s) these instructions are. I can't 
even see whether they are "better" than the files shipped with OO 
2.0.1.

Following the links I found the three xsl files Revision 1.5/1.6 
dated 2005-09-09 (?) with only minor changes from the 2003-06-10/11 
version contained in DocBookFilter.zip.

OO 2.0.1 comes with xsl files Revision 1.7, dated "2005/09/08" (BTW: 
bad date format), being completely different.

All DocBookTemplate.stw are rather old, the download versions are 
dated 2003-06-10 (from meta.xlm), the version shipped with OO 2.0.1 
is dated 2003-05-15.

With the downloaded files, I get no linebreaks in the DocBook XML 
(unreadable). With the files shipped with OO 2.0.1 the XML output 
contains linebreaks.

With both versions I could't import very simple DocBook files, and 
export was not much better.

So unless somebody tells me that DocBook _should_ work in OO 2.0, I 
consider DocBook support useless and stop any further experiments. 
Too bad.
