Hmmm, ok, I guess you are right regarding the stylesheet stuff.

I just had the impression that the dir structure at the moment will end up
in a very big /usr/share in the future. But other packages will do. Is there
a recommended way to do?

Hmmm, thaks for pointing this out ;) Overlooked it somehow. And this will be
maintained if other dtd packages will be installed?

BTW I just checked the xmlto site and a newer version is released on May
09th.

At the moment I try to tie a passivetex package (size is ~1.3M).
Unfortunately I don´t have server access to provide that package for
reviewing. Would it be an option to pass it to you when it is ready? The man
pages for xmlto says that it could widen its output capability with
passivetex...

Keep up the good work!
Regards,
Andreas
