Yes.

I'm starting to think in terms of transformations - some
decorative/additive (CSS, maybe LSI), and others more drastic and/or
intrusive (PSVI value spaces, SLAIX possibilities, lots of XSLT
transforms).
For general-purpose information description, decorative transformations
seem like a safer bet. CSS and LSI also have the bonus of applying to
elements (even though they may use attributes or elements), which makes
for an easier decoration.
I think we've still got a lot of figuring to do here.
