Yeah, my question was meant more like, do we really need those or
couldn't we somewhat overcome it? What are the reasons to use CSS? I
don't think help layout is so complicated that it must use css2 for
layout and formating. At least from what I've seen, the GNOME help pages
have pretty simple layout and formating.

Bill, why do we need DOM?
