 notify-send.1 requires Docbook 5.0 and textproc/docbook only provides
 Docbook 4.5. Is Docbook 4.5 able to process Docbook 5.0 documents?
 
 I found this on the libnotify gitlab page:
 
 =
 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libnotify/-/merge_requests/46/diffs?commit_=
 id=3Da392f3ef205bd8d8f2fa0e298a869d8abc481728
 
 which says that libnotify requires the XSL stylesheet that supports
 namespaces and that using the stylesheet that does not support
 namespaces results in a broken manual page. The distfile currently
 used in pkgsrc for libnotify does not use the stylesheet with
 namespaces. Namespace support was introduced in Docbook 5.0.
 
 Does this mean that the libnotify package requires Docbook 5.0,
 or is Docbook 4.5 able to process Docbook 5.0 documents somehow?=
