I think it's more likely that he was running with a non-DocBook
stylesheet (his openjade command did not explicitly select a catalog and
stylesheet the way that our Makefiles do).  Or just a different version
of the stylesheet.  I'm testing with whatever ships in Fedora Core 5.
I see definitions of ı in some of the files under
/usr/share/sgml, but evidently none of them are included by docbook...

Doesn't really matter whether it does or not, since my gripe about that
is that DocBook rejects it.

I'm surprised too that it couldn't be easily overridden.  Peter, any
idea why not?
