Spent most of the day hacking at the appearance of the site, with (I think) pretty good results. I've added variables in the db storage code so that a logo can be added to the journal title, and configured a range of different elements in the base and user CSS.

One major problem I'm having is with pipeline caching. Even though I've specified type="noncaching" on the whole pipeline, the system whereby data stored in the db as xsl variable elements, and pulled out via XQuery to be used as part of an XSLT transformation, is still suffering from caching. This will be a problem when we have a GUI which enables users to change that data. I'll have to find a way to tell Cocoon to clear its cache.
