When trying to build a PDF from the attached XML/DocBook file, pdflatex fails with:
! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>
$
l.64 \maketitle

The problem is caused by the $ in <year>$YearStamp</year> of the following section:
<copyright>
<year>$YearStamp</year>
<holder>Vendor, URL</holder>
</copyright>
