Hi Bill,

Are the docbook xslt stylesheets we're currently including reasonably available from distro's repos?
I haven't checked yet, but my guess is that some version would be offered in the major distros. But the problem is then that different naming schemes would be used and the folder with the stylesheets would be stored in random locations. This makes it difficult to provide an out-of-the-box experience with the Docbook Tool.
I saw today that the actual sources of the Docbook XSLT stylesheets are now hosted on github too! This made me think: Maybe it would be okay to add another "bootstrapping step" to the Docbook Tool, where it clones the stylesheets from github to its local folder?
Then we wouldn't have to store all the XSLT files directly in our repo. Our build/release workflow would get a little more complicated and users of the Docbook Tool would have to "init" it once on each of their machines. But maybe it's worth giving it a try?
I could work on a new version of the Docbook Tool that would support this, if we agree that's the way to go.
