huh ? The first statement inside the custom-website.xsl file reads

   <xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/website/2.4.1/xsl/tabular.xsl"/>

Are you not using this file ? But anyways, even if I replace '2.4.1' there by '2.5.0'
I get a 'correct' news listing.

yeah, you are talking about the 'rss.xsl' file that's shipped with the db-website
xsl distribution, right ? That appears indeed to be written for rss 1.0, while
sf.net provides rss 2.0 feeds. That's why I don't use the xsl templates from Norm,
but my own, which don't use the rss namespace.
I'm a bit lost now. Let me try on sf.net...

the docbook website xsl says it provides support for rss 1.0 (0.9x) feeds,
while sf.net provides rss 2.0 feeds. They may both be correct.

I thought that was what I had been doing all the time :-)
Is it possible that you forgot to apply the patch to the custom-website.xsl file ?

Yeah, I did that some weeks ago.
