Having been there and suffered Bob, perhaps a mention of the symptoms of
the processor going to the web (succeeding or failing), and how/where it
can be fixed?
   It shouldn't take long to persuade readers that a catalog is a good idea :-)
I found it infuriating at first, especially when, having done it and got it all
working, Norm produces a new version and I have to do it all again!

For a full XML docbook, how many places need changing to get it
to work?  And the assumption then is that its installed such that
relative pathnames work.
