Just watching Robin Berjon demo a docbook instance presented
using CSS only.
Is that a reasonable project for the summer of code?
Present docbook using CSS only?
Sounds interesting to me; feel free to add it to the ideas page.
I also added a new idea [1].

I have a copy of that if you want it. We did that some time ago,
just that it's never been picked up by the sourceforge maintainers.
Now that you are mentioning it, let me throw in some comments:
I have been watching with interest the transition from DB 4 to DB 5, and
in particular, the discussions about extensibility of a "core"
vocabulary. A long time ago we discussed DocBook's limited support for
programming language representations, and what to do about it. Norm
argued that DB was not a modeling language, and thus, that it wasn't a
good idea to add more elements akin to "ooclass", "methodsynopsis", etc.
to the core.
Well, I hope that as part of my project proposal
(http://docbook.xmlpress.net/tiki-index.php?page=api-markup), we can in
fact add more elements, but keep them in a separate namespace, so the
extension is better defined as such.
I would hope that other extensions (slides, website, etc.) could use a
similar approach, i.e. all become domain-specific extensions (or
"profiles"). This has a couple of important advantages, not the least
that users are free to mix these vocabularies for their own purpose.
Thoughts ?
