Uttered "Paul W. Frields" <stickster(a)gmail.com>, spake thus:
Although that means revision histories will be written differently
than they are now, that's not a problem. DocBook doesn't mandate
an order for them, so any way we want to do them is acceptable.
Well, we can output the changelog in any order we choose. Instead of
an <xsl:for-each> construct, something along the lines of
"blah/blah/revision[count()-position()]" could reverse the order.
I figured that nicety could wait.
Cheers
