Perhaps a new section on the DocBook Wiki could be created, and people could contribute their customizations for others to use and learn from? It might be very helpful to those getting started.

From my personal point of view, having a good looking presentation output is a "killer feature". I think it would be great if we can have (probably unofficial) DocBook stylesheets with, well... more design.

I'm not sure about how comprehensive FOP is though...
