Summary:                    libxml 2.6 seems to break docbook xml processing wiht xsltproc
Description: 
Using libxml 2.6.1 I get lots of errors processing docbook xml. Errors like
this:

file:///usr/share/sgml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-1.62.4/common/af.xml:2:
namespace error : Namespace prefix xmlns for l on l10n is not defined
.sourceforge.net/xmlns/l10n/1.0" language="af"
english-language-name="Afrikaans"

    ^

The problems go away when I dowgrade to 2.5.11. I updated the xsl
stylesheets to 1.62.4, but that didn't help.

It seems to me something with namespace handling changed in libxml and the
stylesheets haven't caught up yet.

Try upgrading libxslt to version 1.1.0 and test it again, that version came
out today and should fix the problem.  I will test things later tonight
when I upgrade.

Also before I did that I would update libxml2 to 2.6.2 which came out also
today just incase it fixes some bugs in 2.6.1.  With libxslt upgraded to
1.1.0 things should clear up.
