DOCBOOK-APPS: Literallayout to html

Hi,
Now that I got the <programlisting> in docbook XML and XSL to work with 
xalan extensions, I have a few observations.

1. On the literallayout conversion to html there is no <pre> tag but 
there is a <br> before. I'm trying to include ASCII art and thought 
programlisting inappropriate.

2. On the programlisting conversion, there is no <br> so the output is 
sensitive to the element whitespace.

Perhaps there is a better way to include ASCII art or perhaps I'm 
missing something but I would think that the literal should be in the 
pre tag based on the elements description. I would also like the <br> 
added to the programlisting as I like this behavior.

In comments or suggestion very welcome.

Eric
