Actually, no, the preferred option today for DocBook 5 is to import the
namespace-aware stylesheets with '-ns-' in the distribution filename. Those
are the same as the main xslt stylesheets, except all element names are
handled in the DocBook 5 namespace, and the no-longer-necessary namespace
stripping operation is not performed. Then you can use match="d:poem" in
your stylesheet customization layers.
