Oh, yes. The gnome-xml-branch code looks for all the *.xsl files in
the data directory. After inspecting the HEAD i can see that this file
used to reside in the same directory as xsl-fo processor.

If you think that these files (illustration_reg.xsl,
individual_private_placement.xsl and nasd.xsl) have to be kept in the
same directory as the xsl-fo procesor used, then the current code will
need to be slightly modified.

IMHO now, when lmi has more xml resources (than the old 3 files used
for xsl-fo generation) i think it is better to store the files in the
data directory, since xml resources belong to the lmi application
itself and not to the xsl-fo processor.
