your welcome sir :) much easier to maintain. One thing I failed to
mention was how to use them. The document XML gets transformed against
the basic-2col.xsl (a 'wrapper'), this includes global_defintions.xsl.
global_defintions.xsl includes all of the common XSLs, gets the params
and sets any global variables. This way different wrappers only need to
include the global_defs XSL

Yea... I don't even use full CSS for my own stuff... :( too much
whackiness from too many browsers...
But, the audience here would be one of the most likely to adapt to CSS1.
There is not /that/ much difference between the 6th gen browsers across
platform. And the people coming here are not here for a visual
experience. but I understand your concern and I can help to nail (as
much as possible) it down so it looks the same cross platform/cross browser.

I am planning to get more invloved, honest. I have been trying to finish
up my own project (10-16 hr days, but scope creep is hard to stop when
you are the creeper :) We are writing docs now. Sheesh they take a long
time :) When i have some breathing room I plan on digging into cocoon (I
want my cms product to export to a cocoon environment, among others) and
helping out more on this list. I have checked out forrest once a
month(?) ago, but had difficulty finding my around. I am not too
familiar with how things work, but I can commit changes through CVS. I
just did not think I would be allowed to commit such things. Is there a
page that describes the procedure?
best,
-Rob
