Looking at
http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/ch04.html#id2836978 [4.3.8 Customizing 
the Stylesheets]
and
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/docbook/dsssl/dssslgeneral.html#custom
I guess there's missing the use attribute in the start tag of the element
named style-specification. Give the following a try:

<!DOCTYPE style-sheet PUBLIC "-//James Clark//DTD DSSSL Style Sheet//EN" [
 <!ENTITY MyDocBook SYSTEM
  "D:\ProgramFiles\Jade\DocBook\dsssl\html\docbook.dsl" CDATA DSSSL> ]>
<style-sheet>
 <style-specification use="MyDocBookID">
  <style-specification-body>
   <!-- will put in style overrides here if I can get it to work -->
  </style-specification-body>
 </style-specification>
 <external-specification id="MyDocBookID" document="MyDocBook">
</style-sheet>

HTH,
Steffen.
