I just did, and you are quite right!

So if your docbook format XML document was contained in
a ParsedXML object called foo, you would create a DTMLDocument
called, for example, bar with the contents:

<dtml-var expr="foo.index_html()">

And then list "bar" as the sourceID of the XMLTransform.

A bit clunky, but it works!   I am hoping the authors of
ParsedXML add a __call__() method in their next release
that does the same thing as index_html()
which would obviate the extra DTMLDocument step.

I will update the README file accordingly.
