DOCBOOK-APPS: Tables and XSL stylesheets

[Dave Makower <davemak at iclick dot com>]

I thought I'd learn how to do tables in DocBook XML, and that I'd 
start by running the example in the O'Reilly book through the XSL 
stylesheets.  First, I added a couple of slashes to convert the empty 
tags from SGML to XML, and then I  wrapped it inside of a <book> 
element and a <chapter> subelement, just to make sure it would behave 
okay.  The result was surprising: the stylesheets complained that "No 
template matches entry" and _some_ of the tags were printed verbatim 
in red.  But some of the entries worked.  It seems like a stylesheet 
problem, or did I screw up the XML?
