I'm interested in adding DocBook 5 support to yelp and gnome-doc-utils. However, before I spend a large amount of time developing code, I'd like to know if (at least theoretically) this would be accepted into the main repository. My rationale for wanting to do so is that I have a very large collection of DocBook 5 files (>250) and think it would be useful to have a more-or-less general-purpose viewer for them. My general plan of attack would be to modify the current XSLT stylesheets in gnome-doc-utils to handle DocBook files correctly whether they are version 4 or version 5. I anticipate that most of the DocBook 5 handling code would be isolated in a small number of stylesheets. Also, this would also include code for handling basic XLink features, which are used for linking in DocBook 5. I don't expect to touch much yelp code at all, although currently there are few assumptions in the code that don't hold true for DocBook 5 that would need to be fixed. If I've got the wrong list, please give me a kick in the right direction.
