Description
Is now a required dependency for alsa-utils, though we could probably pre-generate man pages and apply as a patch for alsa and eliminate the docbook stack.
Thoughts?

Needed also for dbus, and also (at least) for git, elinks, bogofilter (not currently in the book, some are pending), and also Greg uses it in the DIY project.

Required or Optional? I only see the point of putting a cmmi package into the book if it is a required dependency, not that xmlto is a huge maintenance burden either though. Feel free to drop it in. According to my logs, it is optional for DBus-1.2.4.
Alsa-utils was a special case as it doesn't even check for it, it just bails during make. I just generated the single man page and intend to run with it for BLFS so that you don't have to have the entire dockbook stack handy for a utility installed very early (at least in my builds) in the process. Haven't gotten to git or elinks and don't know what bogofilter is, but I will get there eventually.

For dbus, it's no longer even useful! Yes, the configure script goes through the motions and correctly reports if xmlto was (not) found. But that makes no difference to the .xml and .html docs, they are shipped and unaltered even if --enable-xml-docs is forced.
I suppose this is an advance from the days when dbus required xmlto, but quite frankly I'm a simple man and I prefer it when packages do what they say ;-)

Reassigning to future because it does not seem to be needed for 6.4.

Runtime dependencies:
libxslt and DocBook*
I agree, that as long is not required by any package, we can avoid the hassle to maintain this package for updates, afterall is just a bash script.
However, I will try to list the packages (if I find any) that have some use of it, so it can be used in future, when (if ever) xmlto will go into the book.

Added xmlto-0.0.23 to book.
patch created for alsa-utils, probably no need for this in the book now as it is simple cmmi with --prefix=/usr.
