As someone who processes gtk-doc output, uses custom CSSs and have tried
all kinds of approaches from sed&perl kluges to keeping a separate XSLT
in somehow sync with the gtk-doc's, I can conclude that whatever you do
it breaks with each bloody new gtk-doc version anyway.  So, no need to
worry.  This is the Linux kernel internal interface approach.

The other approach would be to really declare a stable output format and
then keep it, but I don't think this is realistic.

Anything between means you both worry about breaking it and break it...
