XSL stylesheet for QandASet element.

[Ringo De Smet <ringods at yahoo dot co dot uk>]

Hello,

I have been modifying the DocBook XSL stylesheets (v1.15) to
cope with the 'qandaset' element for FO output. Let me first
signal that this is the first XSL that I've written. The
conversion of the qandaset could probably be done much better,
but my stylesheet gives me a basic Question and Answer list. I
have inspired myself by looking at the itemizedlist XSL
templates.

The restrictions that I see immediately are:

- No support for qandadiv.
- No translated strings "Question" and "Answer". 

Quick question: how do I retrieve the correct translated
strings? I looked in other files for examples, but could not
detect the mechanism. The strings "question" and "answer" are
already present in the stylesheets. 

BTW, any other remarks are ALWAYS welcome!

Ringo
