Great!

The present UG chapters on Styles&Templates seem to cover - how should I 
say - a more horizontal approach targeted towards a certain user level. 

Your plan seems to be more vertically oriented and cover the whole 
topic in one book, which is much appreciated in my eyes.

Although I'm not an expert with regards to styles and templates, I 
sometimes prefer some simple graphics to illustrate certain 
correlations. So my offer is to produce one or another drawing if you 
wish/need.

And, by the way, announcing early what is planned (to allow everybody to 
jump in) is a typical characteristic of opennes (like in Open Source or 
in Open Content).
