There was a recent related discussion about XSLT not
being able to output internal subsets:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/docbook-apps/2002-q1/msg00621.html
The XSLT spec doesn't support it, so unless someone
has a creative solution, it looks like an
extension would be required to pass through an
internal subset.
