Perhaps a new section on the DocBook Wiki could be
created, and people could contribute their customizations for others to use and
learn from? It might be very helpful to those getting
started.

Wow, you guys are seriously
active! :-)
Thank you Dave and Stefan for your very quick
response.

Yep
I would say when I "click" (assuming GUI) the "publish to PDF" button, Adobe
Reader will display a "cool" looking document that looks good.
From my
personal point of view, having a good looking presentation output is a "killer
feature". I think it would be great if we can have (probably unofficial)
DocBook stylesheets with, well... more design.

What about starting with more functional Free fo processors,
first ?

Thanks
Stefan, I think you're right. I'm not sure about how comprehensive FOP is
though...
So there aren't other stylesheets?
