Any DocBook wizards on the list?

There are some small but annoying buglets in the DocBook stylesheets
for the PostgreSQL manuals. I'm not a DocBook wizard and neither,
AFAIK, is Peter Eisentraut. Before I go out to the DocBook list and
ask for help, I thought I'd ask on this list. Is anyone here willing
and able to jump into a stylesheet and make a couple of small (albeit
non-trivial, according to Peter) fixes? Let us know...

P.S. Here is a rundown of the problem area, for the curious:

Problem 1:

The TOC in the PostgreSQL 7.2 Programmer's Guide lists:

I. Client Interfaces ........................................1
1. libpq - C library ...................................1

Looking at the document itself, however, I note that these are on
two separate pages. The first of these pages has NO page number;
the second is numbered "1", as indicated in the TOC.

Problem 2:

The default mode prints out pages which are optimized for single-
sided printing. When I tried using the "two-side" option, I ran
into some breakage. This should be re-examined _after_ Problem 1
has been resolved, to reduce the number of entities being changed.
