Yes, appendixes are mapped to \chapter to \section, depending on where
<appendix> appears in the DocBook file. For \chapter-style appendixes,
the LaTeX command \appendix is issued a few lines before the first
appendix. The \appendix command is provided by LaTeX (for DB2LaTeX
books, the report.cls file provides it by default). The \appendix
command redefines the name of chapters. If I recall correctly, this
should be sufficient. I'm can't remember how we handle \section-style
appendices.

One subtle point is that the name of appendices is provided by LaTeX's
localisation, not XML localisation.  This is certainly what I had
intended, though that is not to say it is the best decision in all
circumstances.
