So you have gone XSLT. It certainly is a powerful tool to deal with
the complicated Docbook DTD and files. One has complete access to the
elements of the files, and XSLT is a powerful transformation language.

I am not quite sure if XSLT is more suitable than Context mapping. I
think that the more complicated the DTD and the files are, the more
advantage there is in using XSLT. So Docbook is a good candidate.

Good luck with it.

Regards, Simon
