As evidence of the 'documentation' aspect, I've got the CSS grammar
mostly done, and hacked up a quick syntax-highlighter script based on
it last night.  Output looks like this at the moment:

  http://www.badgers-in-foil.co.uk/projects/docbook-css/cssref/styles.html

It links to DB:TDG and the W3 CSS2.1 spec, which may aid people trying to
understand the stylesheets.

I know there are two bugs in the output:
 - '(' incorrectly inserted after colours, like "#ffffff("
 - '*' is missing from selectors

The script still needs work to have it make cross-references for
@import, etc.


The other thing I want to do with the parser is compare a list of all
docbook elements with the list of elements that docbook-css actually has
styling for.  We can use this to help compile a 'todo list' for the
stylesheet.
