If you want examples, here is what I do:

~/AFNIC/formation % more lib/afnic-docbook.inc

<!ELEMENT rfc EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST rfc num CDATA #IMPLIED>

<!-- Allow <rfc> in paragraphs -->
<!ENTITY % local.para.char.mix
        "|rfc">

]>
<article lang="fr">

<xsl:template match="rfc">

    </xsl:variable>
<a href="{$href}"><xsl:text>RFC </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="@num"/><xsl:text></xsl:text></a>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
