You're right, it is a bad thing overall, and I have now some "Web-Friendly" 
XSLT that generates quite different output.  Expect it to turn up in CVS any 
day now (as soon as I figure out why it crashes Windows Netscape 4.x and 
looks great everywhere else.)

Features:
A single header graphic, which doesn't resize, and doesn't use CSS 
positioning 
A single footer graphic
All content is constrained in width, which avoids the need 
for the complex positioning, will fit on any display as small as a WebTV 
device.
The pictures will be searched for in  ../common, so that you could make a 
tree like this on a web site:

/toplevel
   /common/
   /document1/
   /document2/

Which should help for caching purposes, and to keep your web traffic within 
reason.   Since it's still not quite done, if anyone has better ideas on the 
path, I'm listening.

Pitfalls: The abovementioned strange crash is holding it up, and it's just 
not as cool as the real  (and resizable) thing.  

I expect we'll be seeing a lot more of the current KDE documentation up on 
websites, once this is done, which is a nice thing so far as "corporate look 
and feel" goes, don't you all think?
