Summary: manpage stylesheet sorts tables before outputting troff

Initial Comment:
Using Debian Unstable
Package: xsltproc
Version: 1.1.19-1
Architecture: i386

# xsltproc --version
Using libxml 20627, libxslt 10119 and libexslt 813
xsltproc was compiled against libxml 20627, libxslt 10119 and libexslt 813
libxslt 10119 was compiled against libxml 20627
libexslt 813 was compiled against libxml 20627

I create a man page from docbook source using the
command:

xsltproc -o manpage.1 /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/manpages/docbook.xsl
 manpage.xml

The docbook source contains a table, but the stylesheet
sorts the table before outputting the troff. To prevent
the sorting, i have to patch the stylesheet. The patch
is included as attachment. The patch is intended to
illustrate the location and the nature of the problem,
but it's not an actual fix because it might introduce
new problems. (I don't know the stylesheet language at
all.) I hope this is enough information, but you can
reach me at x...@re... for more.

Please post a copy of your DocBook XML source document (obfuscate it in
some way if it contains anything confidential). Also post a copy of the
generated man page (roff output), if possible.
