This is very strange. How would your HTML output include a
reference to the fo namespace? Does your HTML customization
include any references to that namespace?
But other than the namespace
attributes, the output is correct, right?
There are no empty <p><b> for the missing
abstract title.

Look for xslns:fo in your customization.
Are you using a catalog file? Perhaps it is pulling in
the wrong stuff?

I'll leave that one for Norm.
