It should be general XSL or DSSSL questions. But I sometimes send
questions about DocBook Modular Stylesheets there, because there is no
list about these stylesheets. Let's create one :-)
Many questions on are about the DocBook
Modular Stylesheets. Strictly speaking, they are off-topic, but the
people who post them have two excuses:
- many people do not understand SGML and did not get that the Modular
Stylesheets are not part of DocBook, and that you can process DocBook
without them.
- there is no list for the Modular Stylesheets.

IMHO, the traffic is not enough to do that. Wait until it becomes near
to unbearable.
