Hello Troy,

Do you know where that 'best practices' document is? I have been eagerly 
searching for one in vain some time ago. I thus started my own showcase OSIS 
module which produces terrible output for much of the syntax it tries to show. 
If there is such a document already, I can gladly throw my miserable approach 
away.
