This is a parsing issue, not a stylesheet issue. You'd get the same
errors if you just validated the file by nsgmls (with the same
arguments).
What is happening is the wrapper you're trying to use doesn't pass the
correct SGML declaration (xml.dcl) down to jade. I don't use these
wrappers myself, I just use nsgmls and jade directly. I think you
should, too; it is not that complicated, and you get better control
(isn't that what Debian is about :)
For instance, this worksforme (perfectly):
jade -t sgml \
-d /usr/lib/sgml/stylesheet/dsssl/docbook/nwalsh/html/docbook.dsl \
/usr/lib/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl /usr/share/doc/docbook-xml/examples/3.1/test.xml
You'll notice I have an older version of the stylesheet, and the old
Debian (pre-lsb) setup, but I don't think that makes a difference.
