Thanks.

The reason I prefer the darker skin is that I think it looks a bit
strange (on the XML Graphics and FOP sites) with the menu having a white
background and the unselected tabs at the top almost blend in to the
white background.

I guess it may be better to have a uniform styling, though.

I prefer them at the top. ;-)  But again, maybe consistency should
win...

Yeah I haven't written them yet.

I did have it enabled before, but the FO that it must produce to
generate the PDF needs some tweaking to look nice, and I didn't want to
bother looking in to that.  The status page, in particular, looked
particularly bad.  Perhaps that was because of the big tables styled in
HTML by CSS, lacking styling in the FO.  The status page also took
several minutes to produce and ended up being over 100 PDF pages long!

I think I had validation turned off, but still, I think figure is
allowed (it's in the document-v20 reference).  Perhaps it's a bug in
forrest.

No I grabbed the SVG from the Commons repo and modified it a bit.  I
found that the text in the original one was a little hard to read, so I
shuffled it around a little.  The white text on the feather, when there
is the dark background, helps legibility.  It's hard to make the text
have more contrast with the feather if there's a white background.  I
think that's another reason I preferred the dark skin for the site.

Will do.
