You can build the documentation now?

You could probably suppress the error with the '--novalid' flag.
Actually, I wonder if you've previously configured an XML tool to be
'strict'? Maybe an environment variable or something like that?

There's nothing to apologise for. You didn't get a reply the first time.

You shouldn't need to do that - if you set xsltproc's location in your
user-config.jam it doesn't need to be in the path.
