Great!
Sadly, HTMLDOC doesn't properly support CSS.
Compare http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colores_HTML#Tabla_de_colores with 
http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/pdf.php?title=Colores_HTML&language=es

Maybe we should have hyperlinks on blue?
Should GFDL be appended in a new page?
What about giving a list link to the history?
