Since we're using the CVS version of texi2html, it will be weeks
before it's added to our make files.  In particular, I'm not going
to even suggest this until there's a release of texi2html that
does everything we need.

I'm guessing late May for this -- which I believe is after you
have more time, so you could coordinate the translation issues
much better.  I therefore suggest that we focus on the English
docs for texi2html at the moment.


At the moment, I have no real opinion on all the CSS stuff,
except to agree with you that it's somewhat subjective.  However, I'm
sure we have a few CSS geeks on the -user, not to mention Valentin...
so I would suggest that Reinhold focus on the more fundamental issues
(like the list stuff; thanks for asking on texi2html-bug, Reinhold!)
and fiddle with CSS later.
