You could easily copy my XSLT and DTD "drivers" (well, DTD might not be 
necessary - at least that kind of change is very document-specific), 
since they are nothing more than replacements of the official and pure 
DocBook XML thingies, which import the official stuff through 
appropriate statements (<xsl:import> or <xsl:include> - one of these for 
XSLT, and entity references (I believe) for DTDs).

Man, that sounds complicated :)

You would have to rephrase the top-level source file this way:

<?xml version="1.0" ...?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="... (XSLT)" href="driver.xsl"?>
<!DOCTYPE root-element (e.g., book) SYSTEM "driver.dtd"!>
...

The DocBook stuff would then indirectly be imported from the driver.* 
files, while being changed as appropriate (by, e.g., setting the 
mentioned variables in driver.xsl).

I hope that's somewhat clearer now :).  Should not be that hard to use 
outside of the dbenv, as long as the real paths to DocBook things stay 
at a certain line in the driver files, so these can easily be patched 
forth and back automatically.  (Or use some Python otherwise.)
