Thank you. This seems to remove the first obstacle on my way to building
Boost.Optional docs.
I am now using B2 Version 4.9. OS=LINUX. I get the error from another tool,
I suppose:

[2]
gcc-12/release/cxxstd-0x-iso/link-static/python-3.10/threadapi-pthread/threading-multi/visibility-hidden
...patience...
...patience...
...found 4351 targets...
...updating 2 targets...
xslt-xsltproc ../../../bin.v2/libs/optional/doc/optional.docbook
runtime error: file
/home/andrzej/Repos/boost/tools/boostbook/xsl/annotation.xsl line 432
element element
xsl:element: The effective name '' is not a valid QName.

Is it DocBook, QuickBok, BoostBook? (I enclose the full error report.) I am
just running b2 on boost/libs/optional/doc from the official repo. Can
someone confirm if they see the same problem? or is it just me?
