I think you missed my point of the Booki -> Scribus interaction. If I  
can export to .odt or XML, I can get Scribus to consistently import  
the styles into an existing - fully styled and layed out document.  
I'll be writing up this procedure on to the wiki. The basic point is  
to be importing structured content created in Booki into a an already  
styled document in Scribus.

My thinking is this:
Booki - good for collaborative editing
Scribus - good for layout of printed materials

I don't think CSS is good for layout of printed materials. Having said  
that, it would be good to have an auto-print facility of the cutting  
edge document which is of higher quality than that currently offered  
by Booki.

As I've said, I'll be documenting this proposed workflow very soon.

Cheers,
