[Mono-list] Help needed with XSLT transformations (documentation browser)

Well, the various "scripts" should be used to generate different
presentations (class info, complete class dumping, specific member,
member summary).  So just assume that you can jump to all of those entry
points.

I would like to only ship the XML files, and have our documentation
browser generate the various presentations on the flight using the XSLT
transformations.

CSS/HTML I think is best, feel free to use CSS liberally, and I will
nicely ask Jakub from Ximian to design a nice look for the
documentation.  

Structurally-wise, I think that following the MSDN model is sound.

I have now checked in all the XML files into the Mono CVS repository in
the module `monodoc' (I had forgotten to push it to the anoncvs servers,
but am forcing a push right now).
