Looks good.

I've applied the following patch to the supplied docbook.cat:

The entity additions were to accomodate the dsssl stylesheets, which
mention ISO, not ENT/ISO.

As a result, I get error messages of the form:

jade:/usr/lib/sgml/ent/iso-lat1.ent:60:18:E: "X00FB" is not a function name

instead of:

jade:/usr/lib/sgml/stylesheets/nwalsh-modular/html/../common/dbl1ro.dsl:4:66:W: cannot generate system identifier for public text "ISO 8879:1986//ENTITIES Added Latin 2//EN"
jade:/usr/lib/sgml/stylesheets/nwalsh-modular/html/../common/dbl1ro.dsl:5:5:E: reference to entity "lat2" for which no system identifier could be generated
jade:/usr/lib/sgml/stylesheets/nwalsh-modular/html/../common/dbl1ro.dsl:4:0: entity was defined here

You pays your money and takes your choice.

The other changes seem to be necessary due to a confusion between 4.1
and 4.1 XML (? - am I right, or am I missing something?)
