Updating our /TR stylesheets

All,

I am pleased to report that this project is now adopted and Elika Etemad 
(aka Fantasai) agreed to be the point person for 2015. She has now the 
difficult mission to propose the new design for documents published in 
the year 2016.

Many thanks to Elika and I'm looking forward for the change,

Philippe
