Summary     : Norman Walsh's XSL stylesheets for DocBook XML.
Description :
These XSL stylesheets allow you to transform any DocBook XML document to
other formats, such as HTML, FO, and XHMTL.  They are highly customizable.

Looks like Fedora Core 6 carriers version 5.1.

I've looked for, but not found, some analog of a changelog for the
DocBook DTD.  Do you know where I could find such a thing?
