The "http://nwalsh.com/docbook/xsl/template/1.0" URL resolves to
docbook.sourceforge.net but gives an error page rather than any useful
hints about where to find the schema.

Two, if you're customising both HTML and FO output.  Customising can be a
highly iterative process that, IMO, begs for as much automation as
possible.  I had been checking to see if someone else had it preconfigured
before I potentially reinvented that wheel by configuring it for my user.

Putting the xsl:import in the right file is something to do once (or
twice) by hand, but regenerating the customisation is a good candidate for
a transformation scenario, at least.
