[xep-support] docbook-fo stylesheets library?

Yeah - this would be PERFECT...

The person that actually developed those customized stylesheets
(Staszek Osinski) wasn't too determined to support everything... and
the customization as I said was a lot of hacking anyway... But you are
certainly right - I'm sure many elements could be reused. It would
still take a loong time to develop a full coherent stylesheet...

Thanks for response, Jeff. I appreciate and I think it'll be a
valuable piece of information for XEP-docbook users too.
