Great.

It occurred to me later that the website documentation doesn't cover it.

I'm working on reusing Oliver's manpage on the website, but I'd like to find a
better way than that used for reusing the conformance information between the
xmlroff manual and the website.

Anybody interested in writing the XSL to include a DocBook manpage into a
DocBook website page?  Anybody got a smarter way of doing it, e.g., with
XInclude?

That would be good.  That part doesn't get much exercise, despite it being
Pango's promise of easy multi-language processing that prompted basing xmlroff
on Pango all those years ago.

If you could manage to write your multilingual tests in a form suitable for
inclusion in the xmlroff testsuite, that would be even better.
