AW: [docbook-apps] docbook ns vs. vanilla docbook? (epub) when to use?

Hi, 

Generally the best place to check out any potential DB problems at a feature level in on the sourceforge page. Usually, I can figure out what documentation problems I'm going to run into based on the bug or todo. 

I think a challenge using the NS stylesheets is tooling. If a lightweight is desired with free or low-cost tools that validate (say RelaxNG and XInclude) , I don't see very many choices when factoring in cost. Although there are some good choices.

Best, 
  Scott

Is there any place where we can learn about the problems? I used the -ns stylesheets for ePub output (as I already do for other outputs) and didn't notice any issues.
