Hi Kevin,
Currently there are no parameters that fix the two problems you mention.
In XHTML 1.0, either lang or xml:lang is permitted. In XHTML 1.1, only
xml:lang is permitted. You can copy the template named
'language.attribute' from common/l10n.xsl to your customization layer and
change this line:
<xsl:attribute name="lang">
to
<xsl:attribute name="xml:lang">
For the width attribute in the admonition td, you'll have to copy the
template named 'graphical.admonition' from xhtml/admon.xsl to your
customization layer and remove the width attribute.
I think setting a parameter for XHTML 1.1 might be a good thing, and would
make a fine feature request. But feature requests made on this mailing
list get forgotten, so I would suggest you request it in the SourceForge
project for DocBook. Select Submit New on this page:
