Yeah, me too.

Right.

My assumption is that O'Reilly has their own XSL stylesheets and/or
tools to convert the XML into whatever form they use for their books.
It follows that we can make any customizations we want at the XSL layer
just so long as we don't go fiddling with the XML. (That's not to say
that we couldn't potentially wrap the <refentry>s in <sect3>s, I don't
know about that).
My patch merely sets an XSL customization property that is already
defined by the existing docbook-xsl stylesheets. However, it is
possible to define an XSL customization layer that overrides entire
XSL templates. I am 99% sure that it is possible to get what we want
this way, without touching the XML. It's just a question of how (and
how much work). If I knew more XSL I probably would have done it
already. Maybe I'll look into it some more.
