Hi Norm, I see that slides were generated using quite nice stylesheet customization. Do you think that you share this customization?

The one for the PDF, or the one for the flat HTML? I guess the answer is yes, in either case, though I probably shouldn't distribute my Sun template with the exact graphics and color choices :-)

I'm more interested in PDF one (I already done flat HTML slides customization for myself several years ago). I'm more interested in overall design of such customization, not in Sun corporate graphic style :-)

For everyone who is building customization layers for the DocBook-XSL-Stylesheet this book is a must have

My main complaint about DocBook is the sheer number of elements, most of which you will never use. You Norman has created a Simplified DocBook DTD, but it doesn't do books. What I want is a book-oriented DocBook DTD that doesn't include stuff for man pages, BNF grammars, class library references, etc. It will be nice when DocBook is permanently converted to XML Schema and we can just override the parts we don't want.

Customizing the RELAX NG Grammar to produce a "Small DocBook" that has fewer elements but still allows <book> is pretty easy. I hacked one together in 10 minutes or so. I'll post it sometime this week.
