DocBook on the Web

I am not to fond of products, which extends a standard
"to much", and it
really should not be necessary (althogh I admit, not all
browser may
support all CSS elements yet).

Remember the fun battle last year between Norm and Håkon
Wium caused by
an offhand remark [1] by Norm, which resulted in the
following very nice
articles [2] and [3].

Regards,

Jens
