Here is the change log:

* There is now an _experimental_ implementation of 'db2x_manxml' and
  'db2x_texixml' using pure XSLT, for those who can't use the Perl
  one for whatever reason.  See the 'xslt/backend/' directory.  Do
  not expect this to work completely yet.  In particular, tables are
  not yet available in man pages.  (They are, of course, still
  available in the Perl implementation.)

* Texinfo conversion does not require XSLT extensions anymore!  See
  Design notes: the elimination of XSLT extensions for the full story.

  As a consequence, 'db2x_xsltproc' has been rewritten to be a Perl
  wrapper script around the stock xsltproc(1)

* 'db2x_xsltproc''s '-S' no longer uses libxml's "SGML DocBook"
  parser, but now calls sgml2xml(1).  The corresponding long option
  has been renamed to '--sgml' from '--sgml-docbook'.

* Fixed a heap of bugs -- that caused invalid output -- in the XSLT
  stylesheets, 'db2x_manxml' and 'db2x_texixml'.

  Some features such as 'cmdsynopsis' and 'funcsynopsis' are
  rendered more nicely.

* Man-XML and Texi-XML now have DTDs -- these are useful when
  writing and debugging stylesheets.

* Added a '--plaintext' option to 'db2x_texixml'

* Updates to the docbook2X manual.  Stylesheet documentation is in.
