Since I'm stuck I asked about this patch on the docbook-apps
mailing list.

https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/201211/msg00027.html

I got the following reply, and since I don't know the answer
and it seems a useful factoid am re-posting here.

P.S. It's a shame, since I much prefer DSSL to XSL.

whack out a migration of DSSL to XSL.)
(Though I do "like" working with xsltproc.)
