The logo is back.  I should look at how to get it on every page so we
get more brownie points with SourceForge's broken project-ranking system.

Please let me know whether or not you can create HTML without having
to modify anything.

I don't "ship the website DTD", but I expect that it's possible to
make a local customization that refers to the standard website DTD.
This is DocBook (and Norm's handiwork), after all.

custom-website.xsl is now back in use, so you could put any XSL
customizations in there.

It's worse than that: I've started using nXML mode in Emacs, which
means I'll need a RNG version of the DTD customization if nXML is
going to validate on the fly.
