Sorry that this took this long for such a short answer. I've just
created the beginnings of a How-To about how to work with XML.
Importantly, it has instructions about how to gain access to CVS:

Great! Thanks, I supposed it was Freepository because it was mentioned
in the mailing list in the past but I wasn't sure.
Note that there is a xml-es module in our Freepository which needs
some tender care.
I can take care of that and include the udpated .inc files I sent you
through (private e-mail) as well as deposit some general scripts to
automate XML handling (encoding issues I described in a different
e-mail).
A few question that are not answered there.
- How is publishing done? Is it done manually or triggered by changes
of the CVS. If done manually, who does somebody have to contact when a
fix is introduced in the XML files.
- Does the CVS contain the images (gif or jpeg) of the books? If not,
where are the canonical copies stored? (for PDF generation I've been
using the files in the "downloadable" copy of the books and convert
them to PDF for inclusion in LaTeX)
I believe automatic PDF generation of published books can now be
easily accomplished with the changes in the LaTeX XSL file as well as
the Makefiles I have crafted. As long as there is a system that
handles this automatically and deposits the files somewhere or pushes
them to the website. That would strike out one of the wishlists at
