Re: (WW) Looking for a volunteer ot two!

There is a section in each of the reference pages called "Usage", which is intended for quick tips on using the property (or whatever) in question, but this is for short general tips, rather than detailed implementation/tutorial type stuff. Some of the things you mention could probably fit in there, but more detailed information would have to be included in a tutorial article linked from the reference.

For instance, can I define the images or stylings of multiple levels of a list without resort to separate class definitions and calls to the class on each particular level?

If I later want to promote or demote something to a different level, it seems silly to have to go in and change classes in my HTML to do so.
