Yes, my mistake.  I was thinking of this:

(define (make-table-endnotes)
  (empty-sosofo))

Which is how I get around having to include dbfootn.dsl from the
Docbook stylesheets.  As I remember, the dependency is just a single
call to that function from dbtable.dsl, and as it happens we don't use
CALS's endnotes.  I also seem to remember that if you /do/ include
dbfootn, it has dependencies on furhter files which you then have to
also include -- but that's a memory from several versions ago and may
no longer be true.

We produce both print and HTML from the same SGML, and the column
widths in the SGML are all tweaked to look good in print.  Just
ignoring them for HTML was the easiest solution for us; I don't mean
to recommend it for everyone!
