Thanks for the examples!  Actually I managed to get my own custom setup done
in about an hour after reading through the docs and playing around a bit.
Now though I need to dig in an learn more about the xsl stylesheets so that
they correctly transform the docbook html form elements into html form
elements.  That is proving to be a bit more of a learning curve.

Well from a practical perspective, and maybe from just not knowing what I
don't know..  I can see a use for html forms in docbook.  We are using
docbook for all of our documentation, and we need form elements in the html
output.  I'm guessing from  your statement that there is a more correct way
to obtain that result?  The other method I found that works is some xsl code
that sticks arbitrary bits of html into the output using processing
instructions.
