Before I change the document for variable
`org-export-docbook-xslt-proc-command', let's finalize the design of
this first. :-)

Currently `org-export-docbook-xslt-proc-command' contains two
format-like specs: "%i" (for the input DocBook XML file) and "%o" (for
the output FO file).  Values of these two specs will be generated based
on the Org file name to be exported.

We should add a 3rd spec, "%s", to this variable for the XSLT stylesheet
that users would like to use for exporting the Org file.  As Dale
pointed earlier, users would like to use different stylesheets for
different Org files.  By default, the value of the stylesheet is set
based on a new customizable variable called
`org-export-docbook-xslt-stylesheet'.  However users can use #+XSLT in
each individual Org file to override it.

Are you OK with this?

Thanks,
