Well - or directly in the 
/usr/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl-stylesheets-1.76/html/dbparam.dsl
(I can't really see why this is so bad.)
Actually - I just tried it and found that I still find 
all my html-files named x1182.html etc.

Weird!!

Yes - no odd hacks (yet). Out of the box RPMs

wget http://www.sslug.dk/~pto/templatebog.tgz
tar xvzf templatebog.tgz
cd templatebog

1) make html
   Check the bog/*html files
   (if you set %use-id-as-filename% to true)

2) make pspdf
   Here the pdf-errors are found.

Thank you for for kind help!!!
