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>

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.

Subject: Docbook  XSLT 2.0

 
Hi,
 
 
 
I need to move away from 1.0 of XSLT but still need to stick with PDF and 
xslTNG is not a viable option for me atm (mainly issues with internal process 
of acquiring a CSS formatter but also the majority of my front matter is in FO 
and will  need to be refactored). 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?
 
 
 
Thanks in advance,
 

 
Nick
