The basic idea is to include the *whole* factory configuration (example: <include location="xxx/docbook.xxe"/>) in your own customized configuration file and then, to remove, add or redefine your own configuration elements. It is recommended to use for your personal configuration the name of the factory configuration (example: "DocBook"). If by doing that, you have problems removing or overriding some configuration elements. Tell us and we'll try to fix these problems by enhancing the whole mechanism.
