[publican-list] No XSL for DocBook experiment

As a hobby project, I have been intermittently working on a process to
convert DocBook directly to HTML5 without using XST.

Yes, I dislike XSL *that* much :)

Anyway, I thought I'd drop a link to the current, very alpha, output to
see if anyone can inspire me to be less intermittent :)

I chucked out all the HTML & CSS and started again using Bootstrap, Font
Awesome, highlight.js, and the jQuery DataTables library.

Why shouldn't people reading your doc be able to reorder or filter a
table when reading a doc!

Still uses DocBook for input, because there are plenty of tools that
handle other formats well.

Cheers, Jeff.
