Yeah, that might be good.  For the record, I'm not using this stuff  
with RefDB yet, which is partly why I mention it (in case Markus has  
input on this issue).

Indeed, a lot of my ideas may be more about RefDB than about its menu.   
So, I agree Mike: the menu should not go out of the way to do stuff for  
the user, but should just be a nice front-end for existing  
functionality.

Markus, how would custom stylesheets be used with RefDB?  In the Word  
example, all it does is use modified versions of the block and footnote  
xsl files, and then a special Word-tailored CSS file.  I really wish  
this was included in the default DocBook (x)html stylesheets as a  
parameter option, frankly.
