All DocBook DTDs were stable; every DTD is stable by definition! DocBook 5.x will expose your system setup is broken. > I'm curious as to how other people handle this problem. There's no problem to solve -- just stick with released standards (SGML/XML, DSSSL) and fix software bugs. Systems depending on "drafts" are broken from the very beginning. Architectural Forms Processing is a genuine way to "map" a document instance from one DTD to another. Once again I like to recommend David Megginson's book ("Structuring XML Documents", 1998). -- work : ke@suse.de | ,__o : http://www.suse.de/~ke/ | _-\_<, home : keichwa@gmx.net | (*)/'(*)
