There's a second reason to include our own copy of Norm's stylesheets -
the difficulty of ensuring end users have the stylesheet properly
installed and registered with the xml catalog. One reason we set things
up the way we did in Yelp was that that installing the stylesheets
oourselves was the easiest way to make sure that happened.
