I used the script you (or Jürgen) provided.

Not right now, but we should have that discussion at some point over the
next few months.

The patches you send me are very confusing. If you can send me a
separate patch of what you have in mind and why and so on, we can
consider it separately, but right now I don't have much interest in
revisiting this. What is committed works well, stays out of the way,
and causes no problems AFAICT.

In some cases the ids on the title tags were necessary for the DSSSL
stylesheets. They can be removed now with some care. I have some
partial patches for that.

These particular warnings seem harmless. I have found the following
reference:
<https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/201510/msg00052.html>

But I see the same warnings in the PG10 build, so this does not appear
to be a regression from the XML conversion.
