DOCBOOK-APPS: Including titles with xrefs in XML

[Dennis Grace <dgrace at us dot ibm dot com>]

According to Norm Walsh'sTDG, a reasonable rendering for an unadorned xref
should include a referenced chapter's title.  In other words, if my second
chapter is tagged:

     <chapter id="stuff">
          <title>Stuff and Nonsense</title>

then an xref like so:

     <xref linkend="ch2"/>

should be rendered:

     Chapter 2, "Stuff and Nonsense"

I have not found this to be the case with either the 1.59 DSSSL or the 1.41
XSL. All I get is

     Chapter 2

I found Jirka's archived explanation of how to add the title in with the
DSSSLs (which worked, incidentally). Does anyone know how to accomplish the
same via the XSLs?

Thanks.
