No there are absolutely no restrictions at all and the source XSLT style sheets are not cached in any way. If I change a few colors in <XXE_distrib_dir>/config/docbook/xsl/html/docbook.xsl and I run "Convert to HTML" or "Convert to HTML (one page, no TOC)", I immediately see my changes in the generated HTML file. Note that the ``driver'' XSLT stylesheet for "Convert to HTML" is not <XXE_distrib_dir>/config/docbook/xsl/html/docbook.xsl but <XXE_distrib_dir>/config/docbook/xsl/html/chunk.xsl (but chunk.xsl includes docbook.xsl). May be the bundled html.css (which is copied along the generated HTML files) supercedes what you have done directly in docbook.xsl. Replacing this file by you own version and changing style sheet params in <XXE_distrib_dir>/config/docbook/xslMenu.incl are the recommended way to customize the generated HTML. However, this does not explain the problem you have.
