Thanks for the suggestion, Dale.  I think this is a very good idea, and
I will try to make the changes to support local variables overriding the
global settings.

Maybe we can have a separate variable called
org-export-docbook-stylesheet to make it easier to set in each file and
flexible to use (in org-export-docbook-xslt-proc-command, etc.).  What
do you think?

I thought about doing something similar to make the commands easier to
set, but stopped pursuing that after seeing the format string style
worked fine.  I am not sure if any other Emacs modes/packages have done
something like this, i.e. using (semi)named arguments.

Thanks for the suggestion, Carsten!  It's a little hard for me to decide
which way is better to specify the stylesheet: "#+XSLT" or "Local
Variables:".  Maybe "#+XSLT" is better?  I don't see many local
variables being used in Org mode...  Please advise.

I'll do some research on this. :-)

Thanks,
Baoqiu
