Probably the biggest thing that I'd like to see in a move to SGMLTools 2.0, is
some new style-sheets to change the layout that they've used.  I know that the
ones that ship with SGMLTools 2.0 have sorta become the "defacto standard",
but personally I much prefer the old style for the layout of pages.

At one point I'd sat down to try to work through the style-sheets to try to
make them work similarly to the old ones, but had little luck.  Good at Perl,
C, C++, not at Scheme/Lisp.  Has anyone out there had any luck in trying to
make the "new" style-sheets produce output that even remotely looks like what
we used to get?
