    Hi Cameron,
    Maybe I'm missing something myself, but I'm not clear on how DocBook is helping you much here. I see very little usage of DocBook elements in your documents. I understand that you might want to use the DocBook stylesheets because they are pretty versatile, but you may have more customization to do than if you just wrote XSL templates from scratch for your purposes. You could always borrow some DocBook templates for the lower level elements like para and such.

    It is also possible to convert documents in Cameron's schema into
    DocBook (by creating simple XSLT). Resulting DocBook document can be
    further processed by DocBook stylesheets. I successfully used this
    approach in several projects.

    The schedule is only one part of a much larger work.

    I think the DocBook XSL book could do with a larger worked example
    that doesn't rely on the availability of appropriate parameters.
