    There is the 'testdocs' in the DocBook SourceForge project. See
    http://docbook.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/docbook/trunk/testdocs/

    They are mostly DocBook 4.4 documents, but I'm sure no-one would mind if
    you made DocBook 5 versions and contributed back the changes.

    I'd be interested to know how you plan to evaluate the output from the
    XSL formatters.

    the first thing i want to do is just set up a minimal f12 toolchain.
    thoughts and a couple questions on that shortly.

    i notice that this directory represents 4.4 tests:

    http://docbook.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/docbook/trunk/testdocs/tests/

    but i see the beginnings of a 5.0 directory under that one:

    http://docbook.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/docbook/trunk/testdocs/tests/5.0/

    i'm assuming that's where a collection of equivalent 5.0 docs are
    slowly being collected?
