Just a minor modification. Otherwise DocBook documents having an FO tree 
that contains blank-body sections cannot be rendered to PDF documents 
with Apache FOP 0.20.5. You already tried that with the very short and 
simple document I sent you. When a future version of FOP handles 
blank-body sections correctly or the DocBook stylesheets on SF are made 
compatible with FOP the stylesheets included in <oXygen/> will be 1:1 
the same as the SF ones.

A general article on Image Handling would be OK.
