Some comments on the output:

1. The navigation links have changed: instead of 
"<<< previous Contents   next>>>" 
we now have (name of previous)     (name of next)

To keep some continuity with previous notation and avoid confusing user,
maybe we want to add >>>, so we get 
<<<(name of previous)     (name of next)>>>

More importantly: we do not have Contents link anymore. Not a problem
for Yelp (TOC will be shown in left pane) but for web we do want it. 

2. Chapter titles now look like this:
Chapter 2 How to Use this Manual
I'd suggest adding a period or line break after chapter number (as is
the common tradition, at least in English)

3. If my understanding is correct, the arrow in menu choices 
(File->New) is now a single Unicode symbol rather than combination of
symbols - and >. This looks better but may cause problems if the user
has no fonts with this symbol. Or is it included in some standrad fonts,
such as Bitstream Vera?

  
Best,
