Hi,
Those messages are expected, given your setup. In DocBook5, elements are
in the docbook namespace, as you specified in your document root element.
The original XSL stylesheets are not written for elements in that
namespace. When the stylesheet detects a root element in the docbook
namespace, it first builds a copy of the document in memory while stripping
the namespace from the elements. Then it processes the copy.
If you want to eliminate that message, then process with the docbook-xsl-ns
(namespace-aware) version of the stylesheets. That is in a separate
download on the SourceForge site. In general, I would recommend that set
for processing DocBook5 documents.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Stripping namespace from DocBook 5 document
When I "compile" my DocBook file from within emacs's nxml mode:
-*- mode: compilation; default-directory:
"~/public_html--Hayek.name/" -*-
Compilation started at Thu Jul 19 20:58:29
make -k html
env XML_CATALOG_FILES=/etc/xml/catalog \
xsltproc \
--output book.html \
_xsl/html--docbook.xsl \
book.xml
Stripping namespace from DocBook 5 document.
WARNING: cannot add @xml:base to node set root element. Relative
paths may not work.
Processing stripped document.
Compilation finished at Thu Jul 19 20:58:31
I'm getting a few strange messages:
Stripping namespace from DocBook 5 document.
WARNING: cannot add @xml:base to node set root element. Relative
paths may not work.
Processing stripped document.
This is how my document starts:
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML 5.0CR4//EN"
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/5.0CR4/dtd/docbook.dtd"; >
<article version="5.0" class="techreport"
xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook";
xmlns:xl="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";>
I am sure I did not get those messages, when I used DocBook 4.5,
only when I migrated to DocBook 5, I introduced "that namespace stuff"
and I started getting these messages.
Maybe I haven't gotten it entirely right ...
How serious shall I take those 3 messages?
And what impact do they really have?
Can I get rid of a few of them?
I mean, I only introduced "that namespace stuff", so that nxml mode
wouldn't mourn at me
and so that the document complies to what I found at
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/specs/docbook-5.0b6-spec-wd-01.html
which looks to me (according to http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/specs/)
like the latest document on DocBook 5.
