Re: [docbook-apps] Custom fop header... again

Yes, you have to declare the namespace

xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"; in the starting 
"stylesheet"-element of your customization layer as you can see in 
fo/docbook.xsl in the DocBook stylesheet distribution.

If you want to use a namespace, you always have to declare it. You could 
do this within the element that uses it like that

 <fo:external-graphic xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"; 
src="/Users/jacques/Documents/images/logo.png"/>

- but then you had to declare it every time you'd use another FO element.

If you declare it within the root element, it is valid for the whole 
stylesheet like xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";, which 
defines all the XSL-Elements (xsl:template, xsl:if and so on).

You could also declare the namespace with another identifier, say "FOO" 
like this xmlns:FOO="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"; and you would 
then write <FOO:external-graphic 
src="/Users/jacques/Documents/images/logo.png"/>

You could even mix "fo" and "FOO", but this would be very confusing.

It's more likely you'll want to leave it as "fo" since this looks much 
more familiar and also a bit official :-) I've made the example just to 
give you some idea about this name space concept ;-)
