    Hi,
    I have some answers.

    1. The docbook-xsl-ns stylesheets are DocBook 5.0 stylesheets. If there is a 5.0 element they don't support, that should be treated as a bug.

    2. DocBook 5.0 has been submitted to OASIS as a proposed OASIS Standard. It will take a couple of months to get through the review and voting period. I don't have dates.

    3. If starting from scratch with DocBook 5 documents, then yes, it is better to start with the ns stylesheets.

    4. Actually, I think such a switch with FOP would be very nice. 8^)

    Terrific response, thanks ("helpful community" is a real plus). #2 is
    good news -- I knew that had been in the works, could not remember the
    status.
