Thorsten,
Fine, at least I have a starting point, however the documenation is very
confusing in this area for a beginner in XSL, Cocoon etc....
I have some small annotations/questions;

My questions are:
1. How can I avoid to make changes always in the installation of forrest?
Can I use a project-specific local html-to-document.xsl-file instead?
Yes, you can. http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_80/locationmap.html
In your project locationmap you need to implement the match
<match pattern="transform.html.document"> and point to your custom
implementation.
In the project locationmap.xml this is working:
<match pattern="transform.html.document">
<location
src="{properties:skins-dir}/../resources/stylesheets/html-to-document.xsl"/>
</match>
but this not:
<match pattern="transform.html.document">
<location
src="{properties:stylesheets-dir}/html-to-document.xsl"/>
</match>
which should be the same, however the variables used here are somewhat
different from those used in forrest.properties.
Is there a document from which one can see where a variable is valid and
how to call it?
2. Is the way I have done it the preferable way?
Normally if writing code (python for me) I would prefere to write a
function since the core choose-function is repeated twice here.
I have to admit that the 2 choose functions seem to do exactly the same.
(..)
3. In addition, since this problem will reappear for a lot of elements
again and again a more general solution could be better! Any hints?
Not sure what you mean.
The same can happen for <ol>-elements etc. Thus adding a more general
'functions' to be called from each of these elements wold be nice.
Again, excuse me for these questions since I am starting with XSL...
4. As I have several of these changes and some improvements done here it
would be nice if I could provide these to the main trunk.
How should I proceed?

HTH
I will see what I can do!
