Not that I object, but as someone who is well aware of the 
frustration that sgml/xml processing systems cause on linux, 
shouldn't we have a complete roadmap for the potential 
cygwin system before we start checking in stylesheet 
packages?  I don't know of anyone who wouldn't agree that 
getting a working docbook system is a royal PITA.  Are we 
going to have some sort of style-sheet management 
infrastructure at some point?  Although I realize that xmlto 
is stand-alone from jade, I think we should plan for a fully 
working docbook rendering system at some point.  I really 
don't have a good solution for this, but I feel it was at 
least worth noting the possible complications that may arise 
in the future from an improperly planned stylesheet 
installation.  We should decide now on the type of layout 
that we want and what sort of management infrastructure we 
are going to use (RedHat, Mandrake, Suse, Debian, or our 
own?).  You know, an ounce of prevention...

Cheers,
