I say this from experience. True, but lack of expertise in the future (let's face it - university salary pretty much garanties a lot of staff turnover) will pretty much turn repository into dead software... >> >> >>> >>>> 3.

Again - there is no "xml:include" in any of the xsl files. There are however "xsl:import" - <xsl:import href="../dri2xhtml.xsl"/>, so that's how external xsl included.

So, say i build a self-comtained theme with it's own copy of dri2xhtml.xsl and just drop it into /themes directory after update. Any hidden dangers in this appoach?
