Can the Docbook5 build be sped up with similar hacks?
If the stylesheet tweaks you did are universally useful, why not
contribute them back to upstream Docbook?

Not sure there's much point in having an intermediate step in the
repository that makes the doc build so much slower. I'd rather go to
Docbook5 straight away.

I don't think so -- this means leaving a state in the repo in which the
docs don't actually build.
