Seems to work fine here! The changes were not *that* big, as I see from the diff? Let's see if it works for others as well. From my side: Well done - thank you!

We've recently talked about Docbook-export from OpenOffice etc. at the meeting - will this somehow work with the new DocBook version? Regards, Stefan
