I understand that but apparently in practice converted document are pretty much compliant except for this specific problem (or publican managed to integrate solution/work-arounds for most of them). You might want to review their stylesheets to look for changes to integrate: https://fedorahosted.org/publican/browser/trunk/publican/datadir/xsl On the other side, Jeff, you might want to push some of your "fixes" upstream so that you can simplify your stylesheets in the long term and so that everybody benefits from them and not only those that are using publican.
