Design documentation :-) When I clicked on the "Architecture" and "Design" links, I had expected a bit more than 20 to 30 lines of text. But I must admit that I have totally overlooked the "Understanding the design" section which is a bit more verbose. Still, it would be nice to have something in the style of the "Alt design" description - which I think is really great - for the "standard" design too.

Re: [PATCH] doc validation fix
Hi Jeff I've applied your patches locally. Thanks. Everything's ok with the first one, but with the second one I'm having problems (not your fault!): - I had to add adjust the inline DTD of skinconf.xml to include the role attribute: - The credit element produces a rather ugly FOP logo. But that's probably more a FOP-internal thing. We probably need a customized little image for this. It should probably be something like: PDFs generated with F O P Questions: - Does anyone have the original logo (AI, CorelDraw, SVG etc.)??? I haven't found it anywhere. - Do we like our current logo? :-) I've commented out Jeff's credit element for the moment and will commit the changes in a minute.
