Well, that's interesting, because none other than Norman Walsh
himself, has already gone ahead and created such a customization layer
of the DocBook DTD for websites:
http://nwalsh.com/website/index.html
There are stylesheets to format the customized DTD available in DSSSL
and XSL flavours, but I believe that the XSL version is the one being
most actively maintained by Norm.
I'm using the XSL stylesheets for our website, works fine. Helped
(forced) me to learn XSL.
Hope this helps,
Alex
