Re: fop-0.93 gives fo:flow error converting docbook5 -> pdf

Well, what do you expect with no content at all? The error message is:
  fo:flow is missing child elements.
  Required Content Model: marker* (%block;)+

The DocBook stylesheet wasn't able to create at least one block-level FO
and the XSL spec says you have to provide at least one. Just give the
book some content and it should work.
