Please adjust the dblatex PDF output to include the authorblurb content
somewhere in the PDF.  I'm trying to typeset a book for printing using
dblatex, and ran into a slighlty annoying thing.  The content of the
<authorblurb> tag is not included in the PDF.  The tag is documented in
<URL:http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/authorblurb.html>.  This test
document db4-authorblurb.xml demonstrate the problem:
----------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"
                      "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd">
<book id="index" lang="en">
<bookinfo>
 <title>Book title</title>
 <authorgroup>
  <author>
   <firstname>First Name</firstname>
   <surname>Surname</surname>
   <authorblurb>
     <title>ABOUT THE AUTHOR</title>
     <para>
First Name Surname is a well known author.
     </para>
   </authorblurb>
  </author>
 </authorgroup>
</bookinfo>
<chapter>
<title>First Chapter</title>
<para>
First paragraph.
</para>
</chapter>
</book>
----------------------------------------------------------

When I transform it to PDF using for example 'dblatex -T simple
db4-authorblurb.xml', the resulting PDF do not contain the text "First
Name Surname is a well known author.".  Please change the dblatex
default to include this text in the PDF.

Hi Benoît,

I want to inform you about Debian BTS report #783113 [1] for dblatex: it
asks for rendering of <authorblurb> elements.  As far as I can see, you
suppress this element in biblio.xsl:

<!-- suppressed things -->
…
<xsl:template match="authorblurb" mode="bibliography.mode"/>

The authorblurb specification [2] describes two possibilities for
handling this element: "Formatted as a displayed block. Sometimes
suppressed."  Maybe a solution would be to add a corresponding option to
dblatex?
