As usual, you are correct.  (Though I'm sure my multiple pasting is pretty brainless :-(  )

I've now got glorious cool colors on both the pdf and html :-)    Samples attached.

How to get Niall's  alignment in tables to work in pdf will need some more expert input.
(OK for html).

boostbook.css entry is:

span.aligncenter
{
  display: inline-block; width: 100%; text-align: center;
}
span.alignright
{
  display: inline-block; width: 100%; text-align: right;
}

Hints?

What other testing should I do?

When is a convenient time to commit doc/src/boostbook.css?
