Patrick,

since most of the CSS changes were positively commented, wouldn't it be a good
idea to include the custom CSS in the upgrade before announcing it?

It would also be great if the team could publish on the list it's progress so
that the whole websites-list could participate or give constructive comments.
The more open the process, the better, right? :)

Keeping things posted upstream is great and very important. But, we are a big
project and have many and special requirements; some of them are so special (eg.
have a banner on the right-hand menu for the Mentors program) that might require
coding that doesn't fit to the upstream.

Anyway, this is a very special discussion that doesn't have a black-or-white
answer, but only a rule-of-thumb: The more the upstream, the better. :)

BTW, the TOC-stylesheet thing appears to be implemented in 1.5/1.6, no?
