Moreover, if I would mangle output from LyX, then I can go all the way and change it to XML Docbook (actually, it is not so complicated, because Docbook from LyX is very XML-like -- no minimalization; just tested on one example file, which required just switch DOCTYPE and remove lang="en_US" from article element and is valid; both of these things are no brainer for a sed script). > If I remember it correctly, support for DocBook SGML will be > dropped from libxml2 soon.

I will try that sed script :-) It seems to me that possibility to use more than one tool for processing XML documents means that I have to install all of them :-). > With DocBook XML source DocBook stylesheets produce FO output > in UTF-8.
