Please submit this as a send-pr.  I have fought repeatedly with the 
docbook maintainers over fixing things like this to no avail.  Maybe if 
more people complain, then they will actually attempt to actually fix 
the multitude of docbook problems.

This issue is one that I cannot easily see in the files.  The errors in 
docbook tend to be in places where things get added and deleted and the 
resulting files never match expetations.  Something has to change, but I 
do not know what it is.  I really do not want to have anything to do 
with maintenance of this steaming pile, but the current maintainer does 
not do a very good job either...

Sigh.
