Actually, let me take this one step further.  Can the gnome-doc
package supply a fully self contained set of style sheets, dtds, and
catalogs ?  Ideally it would also include a gnome-doc-build script
and some notes on how applications and libraries should run said
scripts.  The current nightmare of style-sheeets and build
environments is scary.  There are 3 different versions of the
gnome-doc style sheet in cvs.  Every module needs special commands
to build things.  This really needs to be addressed.
