==========================================================
I don't care whether it's called XSL FU or cascading style sheets or
whatever, as long as it's W3C-compliant. What I want to see is style
information that's derived from the EDD's format rules without the
restrictions that currently apply in V5.5.6. Those restrictions are so
limiting that the resulting style information is useless.
