That sounds like a nice addition to the product.  I think other sites
would like to see what you are doing, when you think it is ready.

You have, in essence, found them.  The XSL transforms *create* the
actual pages by transforming the raw content from DRI to XHTML,
selecting desired fields and laying them out on the page.

If you need to provide information not previously available on the
user interface, then you need to find the Aspect which deals with that
particular area of concern, or create a new one if none are concerned
with what you are doing.  Then a Theme can include it at the
appropriate point in the page it is building.  Themes can also simply
place widgets on the forms that they build, if there is no need to
present anything fetched out of the DSpace data model.
