[I'm moving this over to the docbook-apps mailing list since it deals with a
formatting application.  The docbook list is for DTD issues.]

I'm not using Forrest, but I am able to process your sample file with the
DocBook XSL 1.65.1 HTML stylesheet without problems.  Have you tried it
outside of Forrest?  What sort of strangeness are you seeing?
