    Platform: Win2k, Abiword 1.0.1, DocBook XML 4.1.2

    I am trying to import a DocBook <article> into AbiWord on windows.

    The import fails with the rather unhelpful error message (in
    Norwegian):
     "Abiword kan ikke åpne C:\blahblah.dbk. Det ser ut til å være et
      feil eller ugyldig dokument"

    Translation:
     "Abiword is unable to open C:\blahblah.dbk. It seems to be a wrong,
      or invalid document"

    Is there a way to get more debug information from the DocBook import?
    Does the DocBook import only support SGML DocBook? Does the support
    need a specific <!DOCTYPE> declaration?

    The DocBook document was created using emacs+psgml on linux, and
    validates successfully against the DTD. It also processes nicely into
    both HTML and XSL-FO (and from there on to PDF).

    Thanx!

    - Steinar
