Re: [docbook-apps] improve DocBook's HTML output

Well, if that's the goal, then I'd like to add another option for consideration: maybe called 'generate.header.css', or something, that would cause the generated css to appear in the HTML header rather than in a separate file.

Generating CSS file on the fly simplifies deployment -- user doesn't
have to copy CSS into target directory. This is easy, but for newcomers
it is much more handy if there are no additional steps required to
generate working output.
