Thanks for filling in for me this week, and Paul will continue this for the next few weeks as I got on some needed vacation.

In the meantime, Tommy is pursuing a holdover tool using dblatex[1]. We'll use this until a) we get our entirely free Java toolchain working, or b) the upstream DocBook maintainers take a different tack.
