Hi!

I have created several new packages for the documentation sidebar:

XSLT
EXSLT
(X)HTML (quite different from the existing HTML package)
MySQL
CSS 2
Web Standards
W3C Standards

XSLT, (X)HTML and CSS are automatic conversions of the excellent references 
from http://www.zvon.org. They feature completeness and direct links to the 
relevant W3C standard sections. ZVON references are true references, however 
- little to no explanation, usually only some excerpt from the relevant 
standard.

MySQL is an automatic extract from the official MySQL (5.1) user manual 
(Section 12: Functions and Section 13: Statements).

EXSLT is an automatic conversion of www.exslt.org.

"Web Standards" is an automatic conversion of a self-written XML/Web reference 
card and link list, http://garni.ch/Docs/XML/ (soon available on the AxKit 
Wiki again: http://axkit.org/wiki/view/AxKit/XMLReferenceCard but broken due 
to spam at the moment)

"W3C Standards" is a collection of smaller W3C standards, too small to justify 
an own top-level entry. Right now it includes only XInclude, but others to 
come as I find need for them (xml:base, XPointer, xml-namespaces are examples 
for future inclusion). It directly links to the official standard 
document(s).

All except "Web Standards" have context help indices and allow direct access 
to the relevant language elements (tags, functions, commands, whatever...) 
and contain some way to be regenerated from official sources (XSLT stylesheet 
or perl script). All content is licensed under one of the well-known free 
documentation licenses.

Is there interest in these packages? What do I have to do to have them 
downloadable via the built-in docs downloader? How can I update these 
packages myself, if they are hosted on some server ("W3C Standards" is 
continuously evolving, for example)?

Please CC me, I'm not on the list.
