DOCBOOK: FYI: Cocoon 1.7.2 works with DocBook

(Please excuse the cross-post.  This message is better suited for the 
docbook-apps list than the docbook list, but since that list is only 
a day old, I don't know how many people have subscribed yet.)

[Please don't do this. If you want to send the same message to both
lists, send it twice. I'd wouldn't have approved this message, but
apprently I don't have approval setup on docbook-apps yet so it already
slipped through on one list. --moderator]

FYI:

Today I downloaded Cocoon 1.7.2 from http://xml.apache.org/, and 
after testing many previous releases of Cocoon with the DocBook XML 
DTD and Norm's XSL stylesheets, this one finally works!

It's pretty slow, so I don't know how practical it is to serve 
DocBook documents this way, but at least progress is being made.

(Note: I used basically the out-of-the-box configuration for Cocoon, 
using Xalan as the XSLT processor.  It might or might not work if you 
substitute XT.  Don't forget to include the necessary stylesheet and 
cocoon PIs in your source XML if you want to try this.)
