Hi Bernhard,

 From what Bob told me, they plan to make at some point a new release of 
the DocBook XSLTs and the problem is fixed there.

So when that new release is made, we'll try to integrate it in a future 
Oxygen version.

When it comes to publishing, our focus is on DITA publishing, for 
DocBook we provide the XSLTs as they are bundled with the DocBook 
project but we do not have members of the team allocated to enhance 
DocBook editing further.

Regards,

Radu
