[postgis-devel] Docbook ID's and <a name> links

[Obe, Regina]

That was one thing I wanted to do anyway.  I think at some point with our splitting of pages, generation of meta data comments etc. we are going to have the xsl in our distribution anyway.  Plus I find it annoying I have to point the xsl doc dir of styles to somewhere.
 Just my two cents.

Right now we're using a stock XSL sheet from red hat linux.  We'd have
to bring the XSL into our distribution and start hacking it,
probably...  not that that is a bad thing, necessarily.
