There are some stylesheet language XXX (don't remember its name) similar to
CSS, but in XML (XML varaint of CSS). It is easy to convert XXX -> CSS (by
XSLT).

We can style OSIS files with XXX. Then we can converting OSIS -> HTML, also
convert XXX -> CSS.

Then we can also deprecate x-i, x-b, x-u tags for presentational markup.
