These are really fixed now.

I have to report this is not fully fixed. (I'm beginning to feel like the Grinch who stole refdb...)

Only 3 out of 4 are 'really fixed': while missing AUTHORLIST, PUBDATE and TITLE ROLEs are now handled gracefully by refdbd, it still fails if a PUBTYPE TYPE is omitted. If you omit the TYPE attribute from the PUBTYPE element -- I know it's forbidden by the DTD but a clueless user may do it anyway -- and attempt to add the style anyway, refdba/refdbd hangs.

David.
