/ dblack@candle.superlink.net was heard to say:
| I've recently installed docbook-xsl-1.55, and found that the behavior
| seemed to have changed with regard to article documents, at some point
| since 1.48.  Specifically, I'm now getting the -draft page-masters in
| my FO output, along with the draft watermark URL.

Yes, that's right. The draft page masters aren't used if you don't specify
'status="draft"' in your document, though.

| I have two questions about this: first, whether it's really supposed
| to be this way (not that I leap to assume everything is a bug, but
| this change struck me as curious); and second, if it is supposed to be
| this way, how to make it not happen :-)  I've tried manipulating the
| status element, and a couple of other things, but I don't seem to be
| getting it right.
|
| This little article demonstrates the behavior -- i.e., with 1.55 it
| comes out as a draft, and with 1.48 it doesn't:

You mean you're actually getting the draft watermark on the pages? The
presence of the draft pagemasters themselves shouldn't cause this.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
