Subject: Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: Is it time to rely on CSS?

Currently they do a very good of providing hooks with div, span, and class attributes. I think the real question was "Why are you hard coding this particular style that prevents my CSS stylesheet from controlling it because of the cascade order?". We currently have the 'css.decoration' parameter that controls the application of some style attributes within elements. Perhaps there just needs to be a more rigorous pass through the stylesheet to make sure every hardcoded style is controlled by that parameter. Then the stylesheet could supply all the inline styles for those users that want them, but turn them off for those who want a complete stylesheet. If they turn off css.decoration and fail to supply the stylesheet, then that's their fault. I still think it would be useful to supply a sample CSS stylesheet with the distribution that would serve as a starting point for those who want to turn off css.decoration.
