Hi David,

Yes, I did.  Below is a sample SGML file, and a DSSSL stylesheet.

The command I used was

  openjade -t sgml -d foo.dsl foo.sgml

I got "FnameSurname: This is the author." in the HTML output.

Cheers,
Raghavendra.

foo.sgml:
--------

<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.2//EN">

<article>
  <para>This is the author.</para>
</article>

foo.dsl:
-------

<!DOCTYPE style-sheet PUBLIC "-//James Clark//DTD DSSSL Style Sheet//EN"
[
  <!ENTITY docbook.dsl
           PUBLIC "-//Norman Walsh//DOCUMENT DocBook HTML Stylesheet//EN"
           CDATA DSSSL>

  <!ENTITY % ISOnum.ent
    PUBLIC "ISO 8879:1986//ENTITIES Numeric and Special Graphic//EN">
  %ISOnum.ent;

  <!ENTITY author "Fname&nbsp;Surname">
]>

<style-sheet>
<style-specification use="docbook">
<style-specification-body>

(element (article para)
  (make element gi: "P"
        (literal (string-append "&author;:\space;" (data (current-node))))))

</style-specification-body>
</style-specification>
<external-specification id="docbook" document="docbook.dsl">
</style-sheet>
