Ok, I found ways to solve both problems:
1) Use an xsl to post-process the xhtml output of the docbook xsls to
change li/p[1] to just li + children and following siblings of p.
2) links -dump inputfile.html | tr -d '\000' > outputfile.txt to remove
the null character.

Hi Bob,
The output from links is very nice with two exceptions: 1) there's a
line break after each bullet/number in listitems (<li><p>text</p></li>
doesn't go over well with links). 2) there's a character that shows up
as ^@ in more/less or as a box in notepad before each step number in a
procedure.
I was wondering if you were seeing the same thing and how you get around
it.
Same result with Elinks 0.3 and 0.96.
Thanks,
David

Are you using one of the text-based web browsers
to convert HTML to text? I'm currently using
"links" (no, not lynx) from
http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~mikulas/links/
and it handles tables nicely. It even does
frames!
And then there is the venerable lynx which I think
handles tables now, and another
called w3m from Japan
http://ei5nazha.yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp/~aito/w3m/eng/
All of these have a "dump" option to let you save
the generated text into a file.
