Hi Frank, Thanks for bringing this up. While I have worked a lot on the build process in the documentation while implementing pdf creation, I never knew the existing build process was based on gnome-doc-utils. I didn't know what the omf file was for (and I still don't actually), that it should be kept in sync with the other tool versions and so on.
I don't remember I took a more recent version of the docbook xslt files from the gnome-doc-utils project (as I wasn't aware of this project until now). I did upgrade it, but I thought I found this on the docboook website instead. I'm all for upgrading to a more recent version, and especially for re-aligning the other parts I never did. This will have to be done very carefully though. I know I have made lots of changes in the makefiles and also a few in the xslt files. We will probably have to re-evaluate all of these changes and see if they still apply. As it's been a while that would mean I'd have to refresh my memory by studying what I actually did and why.
