That's true.

I'm certainly willing to help. If you tell me what your customization
layer is using, I'll tell you how stable I think it is. And I'll try
to avoid changes to those areas.

The HTML stylesheet API is stabilizing, I think. The FO stylesheet is
still in a bit softer state because FO processors aren't all
"state-of-the-art" yet and there's a bunch of workarounds in there.

                                        Be seeing you,
