A lot of things that are controlled by dspace.cfg in JSPUI are instead controlled by tweaking the theme(s) in XMLUI. And we do need a guide to the features and most popular customization areas of the stock theme transform (dri2xhtml and friends). I understand your frustration. I think that simple things like turning a feature on/off or plugging in a simple value should be done the same way in all UIs. The difficulty is that layout configuration data must find their way into the DRI document somehow, or be otherwise exposed to the theme engine, in order to affect the layout. There's probably some tricksy way to get at these data already but my Cocoon skills are still immature. I did start work on my own approach, but other work intervened and it's not ready. -- Mark H.
