It's for the text output, not xhtml.

We're (for now) using xmlto, which is calling w3m underneath.  It does a 
little too much to 'help'  so we're most likely going to move away from 
it and back to the raw tools,  xsltproc, fop and w3m.

A little more background info:
We have a couple dozen recently converted documents that have about 2500 
pages total.

We want 5 output formats for the docs.
html, pdf, txt, ps (and eventually epub)

It's taking a lot of work to figure out how to style a tag well in all 
of those outputs.

I mention this only because I will have more questions for the list soon 
in my efforts to create good looking documentation.

I appreciate all the help!
