The upshot of this for us is that we now can begin the migration to
xslt rendering of our docs, using Daniel's sgml DocBook parser to
maintain backward compatibility with our sgml docs.

I've posted an example to show this in action:
http://www.inkstain.net/fleck/gdiskfree/

This is a DocBook sgml document rendered using Norman Walsh's DocBook
xsl stylesheets with gnome-db2html3, the new xml->html thingie now
under construction. 

A second example:
http://www.inkstain.net/fleck/panel/

This is a DocBook xml version of Sasha and Dan's panel doc also
rendered with gnome-db2html3 and Norman's stylesheets.

The stylesheets used have none of the customizations we'll be
adding, both to the look and to meet our navigation needs (we'll be
displaying in chunks with navigational links at top and bottom, for
example, not in whole documents as shown here). This is just a simple
demonstration to show this is now possible.

Many thanks to DV for his efforts to make this possible.

Cheers,
