OK, maybe not a few, but at least <style force=""> ;-)

<copy overwrite=""> makes sense, although force would have been a good
name too, by <apply> does not necessarily write files, although it often
will I admit. I just think force fits better in this context. But I'm
not 'attached' to force either ;-) Maybe we should use a global policy
like Steve's <force> <timestamp> in his <getlibrary> task? Just throwing
this out a confuse things a little... --DD
