You should be able to get the DocBook XSLT 1.0 stylesheets to work with recent versions of Saxon as long as you don't need to generate an olink database. Creating that olink.db file uses an old Saxon 6.5 extension (saxon:output) to do what we now use xsl:result-document for. If you're using Saxon PE/EE, you might even be able to generate the olink database: https://www.saxonica.com/html/documentation12/extensions/instructions/output.html <https://www.saxonica.com/html/documentation12/extensions/instructions/output.html>
If you rely on the Saxon 6.5 extensions that are bundled with DocBook XSLT 1.0 stylesheets, you might have some work to do.

Therefore, as an interim solution, I am working on a customisation layer of DocBook XSLT 2.0 for FO output and want to align with the latest stable base. I have been reviewing the DocBook XSLT 2.0 stylesheets and noticed something I would like to clarify. The latest tagged release on GitHub - docbook/xslt20-stylesheets 2.6.0 - dates from 2020. However, the CDN at https://cdn.docbook.org/release/xsl20/current/xslt/base/fo/ <https://cdn.docbook.org/release/xsl20/current/xslt/base/fo/> appears to contain newer content (e.g. a more complete autotoc.xsl module dated 2023). Can anyone (Norm I guess) confirm whether the CDN "current" tree represents an official but untagged update beyond 2.6.0 or an intermediate build not yet formally released. Either way, is there a packaged .zip/.tar.gz available?
