DOCBOOK-APPS: Phantom bold tags: xsltproc and docbook.xsml (HTML)

[Rich Churcher <churcher at ihug dot com dot au>]

Given the following DocBook XML:

<qandaset defaultlabel="none">
<qandadiv id="s1"><title>Essentials</title>

<qandaentry><question id="q1.1"><para>1.1 What is the purpose of this
newsgroup?</para></question>

<answer><para><ulink
url="news:alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++";>alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++</ulink>
is a self-moderated newsgroup for the discussion of issues that concern
novice to intermediate C and C++ programmers.  We ask and answer
questions about those languages as defined by their respective standard
documents.</para>


The DocBook stylesheets generate this HTML output:

<div class="qandaset">

[ snip TOC ]

<div class="qandadiv">
<h3 class="title">
<a name="s1"></a>1 Essentials</h3>
<div class="qandaentry">
<div class="question"><p>
<a name="q1.1"></a><b>1.1 What is the purpose of this newsgroup?</b>
</p></div>
<div class="answer">
<p>
<b></b><a href="news:alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++";
target="_top">alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++</a> is a self-moderated
newsgroup for the discussion of issues that concern novice to
intermediate C and C++ programmers.  We ask and answer questions about
those languages as defined by their respective standard documents.</p>


Curiously, an empty <b></b> tag par is generated at the beginning of the
first paragraph of each answer. It's relatively harmless, but what
causes it?
