Actually, no, the preferred option today for DocBook 5 is to import the
namespace-aware stylesheets with '-ns-' in the distribution filename. Those
are the same as the main xslt stylesheets, except all element names are
handled in the DocBook 5 namespace, and the no-longer-necessary namespace
stripping operation is not performed. Then you can use match="d:poem" in
your stylesheet customization layers.

So I should be picking up
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/snapshots/docbook-xsl-ns-snapshot.zip
which has the xref bugfix... Which may leave me with a problem.

Is the website 'as was' or is that namespaced too please Bob?
I guess I should now start splitting up my xsl stylesheets;

docbook-xsl (basic 4.5 + website)
docbook-xsl-ns (for v5)

I really need to document all this! Processing docbook all over my
disk I'm always getting caught out! If it's not the stylesheet
names it's the graphics location!

Thanks Bob.

That's it Bob. Snapshot loaded to <wherever>/docbook/docbook-xsl-ns
is now used for both html and fo.

poem, in docbook ns is now processed 'properly' without the ns stripping.

Thanks for the help.
