Package: xmlto
Version: 0.0.23-2
I use xmlto to process a docbook file to HTML, and dblatex to process
it to PDF (because the dblatex look nicer and work better in my case).
But I have discovered a problem with xmlto. It is unable to process
xref with xrefstyle values. This is a simple XML example to
demonstrate the problem:
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.2//EN"
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd";>
<book>
<bookinfo>
<title>Your title here</title>
</bookinfo>
<chapter id="ch1"><title>Chapter title</title>
<section><title>Section title 1</title>
<para>
See chapter on page <xref xrefstyle="select: pagenumber" linkend="ch1"/>.
</para>
</section>
</chapter>
</book>
When processing it with dblatex, the paragraph is expanded to "See
chapter on page 1". But when I process it with xmlto, I get this
error:
% xmlto html valid-xref-xrefstyle.xml
xmlto: valid-xref-xrefstyle.xml does not validate (status 3)
xmlto: Fix document syntax or use --skip-validation option
valid-xref-xrefstyle.xml:11: element xref: validity error : No
declaration for attribute xrefstyle of element xref
Document valid-xref-xrefstyle.xml does not validate
%
What is going on here? Is the docbook XML invalid or is xmlto unable
to recognize correct docbook XML in this case? xmllint also fail to
validate this XML (reported as BTS #682944), but as far as I can find
on the web and docbook documentation, this is valid use of xref.

xref had been introduced with DocBook XML 4.3. So xmllint is correct.
You content is invalid. You can either adjust the DocBook version or
remove the xref elements or follow the advice xmlto gave you.
I'm closing both of your reports.
