I have done mostly minor styling.  Here are some issues I solved in my
own customizations that I would like to see addressed:

- create HTML5 video tags for movies

- for movies, provide a way to specify parameters such as auto start

Other customzations that might be useful to others but the inclusion of
which in official DocBook I don't have strong feelings about:

- environments for content that become visible on click (such as answers
  to questions)

- my Speaker setup
  (https://iis.uibk.ac.at/public/piater/talks/speaker/speaker.xhtml)

What I do care about in this context is the definition of a minimal but
powerful set of presentational elements to make the most common slide
layouts easy to create, as we have already discussed at length in this
forum.
