Summary: xhtml tables with DSSSL stylesheets

Initial Comment:
I'd like to migrate my site to xhtml.

For new documents, I'm using XSLT. But for existing
collections we have a pretty extensive DSSSL codebase
we are not anxious to abandon. There are about 300,000
pages generated with the docbook dsssl out of 5
separate works, so the effort in migrating to XSLT for
those collections would be substantial.

My problem is that html/dbtable.dsl creates upper-case
tags and attributes.

I'd be glad to work on converting these to lower case
if the changes would have a chance of getting back into
the repository.

Is there some fundamental reason we cannot output
lower-case HTML tags?

As a workaround unless/until a change gets made to the
DSSSL stylesheets, you could run your content through
tidy(1). I use it like this:

  tidy -imn -asxhtml foo.html

That modifies (-m switch = modify in place) the file
in-place. If you want to write the converted output to
a separate file, do this:

  tidy -in -asxhtml foo.html > bar.html
