Hi Jim, At a conceptual level we've spent a little time thinking about the possibilities here -- but to the best of my knowledge this hasn't drilled down to the level of specifications and incorporation into the road map.
I think the inclusion of styles is a very smart idea. WE would certainly welcome and support the implementation of styles to enable local institutions to brand the output. This could extend to unique institutional icon sets for the iDevices which institutions may wish to share back with the community. Have you had a chance to peek at the code engine for the wiki==> pdf functionality. It's python <smile> and I know that you're a python hacker of note! I'd be keen play around with a few ideas and see whether we can raise any funding to get code development work done to widen the feature set of this OSS development. Any other cool ideas apart from the Collection ==> IMS packages (this feature rocks!) and your thinking on styles.
