about docbook2man (docbook2man-spec.pl)

[Philippe Batailler]

Hello,
When using package docbook-utils, version 0.6.11, and docbook2man to
create a manpage, the output shows "NAME" for every language.
It should be localized.

Also, the non breakable space, nbsp, is handled like a simple space; 
and, for french language, we need a declaration of "thinsp".

What do you think of the kind of patch I attach to this mail ?

Please, cc me.
Regards,

Good point.

Good, except for this bit:

We need to use the current value of the 'lang' attribute for this.
For example:

<refentry lang="de">
  ...
</refentry>
<refentry lang="es">
  ...
</refentry>

So we need to look for the 'lang' attribute on the ancestor nodes.

I have applied the nbsp and thinsp handlers---thanks.
