I've posted a similar question on DITA-users. I apologize for the
cross-over, but I am looking for schema-specific information.

For DocBook related questions you should use docbook-apps and
docbook(_at_)lists(_dot_)oasis-open(_dot_)org(_dot_) This list is dedicated to 
general XSLT and
XSL-FO question. Anyway I will answer, but I would suggest you to send
your question to docbook-apps(_at_)lists(_dot_)oasis-open(_dot_)org

In particular, I'm
interested in knowing how much of the support is mostly implemented, and how
much is available but not fully expressed in the style sheets that ship with
style sheets and rendition tools. Here are some areas of concern:
- Default fonts

Uhm, don't understand your question

- Generated text

All fixed text emitted by the DocBook stylesheets is localized,
currently into 59 languages.

- Xref, 

These are localized too

header, and footer word/character order

Uhm, don't understand your question

- Text directionality

You can control directionality by dir attribute. Corresponding output is
then produced in HTML and FO.

- Chapter, section, item numbering

Also localized to 59 languages using simple templates. You can override
templates yourself. There are some limitations in respect to Chinese needs.

- Indexing

Stylesheets provide three different methods, which are able to index
everything from Western European languages to CJKV langauges.

- Word breaking

This is handled by formatter.

- Translation file prep

You can ITS with DocBook

Are there any other areas of concern that DocBook XSL addresses in part or
in whole? Are there any areas of concern for localizers who work with
DocBook data?
