Hello Volker

Thanks for your reply. I more or less figured reading the stylesheet
was going to be outside the scope of the project. I was hoping I might
be able to add some code that would allow me to translate unrecognized
tags into something more useful. Or even a pre-parser to strip them
out and replace them with something else. I'm just not sure where to
start poking at the code, (and to be honest, I speak very little
Python).

The site can not be made public at this time, but I have emailed you a
username and password privately.

Thanks
Isaac
