Re: W3C specs reformatted

Ok,

I changed the stylesheets back to the original in this one:
http://www.visiomode.com/docs/1/55/

I'm not sure if you are ok with that though:

(1) I need to include some CSS rules which are additional to your
stylesheet. They don't conflict with each other, but they are additional
rules, and I'm nto sure if that's ok. They are there for screen layout
formatting as the web viewer needs them.

(2)  "previous   next   contents   properties   index" ---- that one doesn't
work now as well as it could, for example at this URL
http://www.visiomode.com/docs/1/55/8073

(3) The URLs internal to the spec have been changed, so that they actually
work in this web viewer.

If the (2) is causing you trouble, I could fix that.

So... this is what I have now and sorry again for the confusion earlier.
Mixing legal terms and human of them interpretation may sometimes be hard :)
