It's unlike, say, wikipedia, for example, where there is a common
L&F. The reason is because wikipedia, from its inception, used
its content management tool (wiki) which has its own L&F.
Anyone contributing to it implies acceptance of the L&F.
IMO, BoostBook and QuickBook is our ticket to that.

Yikes! I seriously didnt know that!...

I hadnt realised quite what I was buying into when I started using QuickBook. It sounds like convenience is bought at quite a high price. I had assumed that it was possible to modify the QuickBook L & F for purposes outside boost else its kind of a one job tool and makes me wary of investing too much in it. Some responses on this list also gave me the impression that it (is/will be) possible to use Quickbook other than for its use for writing boost documentation. Are you saying that I as the author have no control of L & F when using QuickBook?

Of course you do! No one forces you to use/distribute the CSS with the common L&F. Of course, *by default* you get the common L&F and I don't see anything wrong with that.
