OK.. Since I'm not using the chunker (it's the onehtml template).. I 
instead changed the template to set the encoding to UTF-8 (didn't find a 
way to set it through a parameter). Which matches the server, and seems 
more useful in general anyway.

I also made more style changes and generation changes. It's now almost 
done (except for typing in the rest of the content). Only caveat is that 
for this to work it requires:

* the latest Quickbook, 1.6
* the latest Docbook XSL, 1.76.1
* so far only works with the onehtml format
* the CSS is specific to the proposal (as it's keyed to the section ID)
* the CSS lives inside an XML shell doc :-(

(( For a language and tool that is meant for text transformations. XSLT 
makes for a horrid system at doing file I/O. Since it can only deal with 
one file format. ))
