In other words, I guess, it sounds like we need an option in Yelp that
lets the user choose which stylesheet to use to display GNOME help
docs-- default, high contrast, low contrast, big print etc.  

What are the chances of seeing something like that in Yelp anytime
soon?  Or are there at least any GtkHTML2 config files that can be poked
by the user to point at their choice of stylesheet?  One of the reasons
for choosing Yelp for GNOME 2.0 was that it's the easiest help browsing
solution to make accesible, it would be a shame if we fell down at the
last hurdle...

Cheeri,
Calum.
