Precis

Copperbox revision 1326.

Some progress - I've worked out how to add in-line sytle sheets so I only need to generate one file.

Unfortunately the code is starting to get rather clumsy, this is always suggestive that the fundamentals aren't right. For one thing some edit lists are better suited to three values ADD, EQUAL, DELETE rather than four ADD, EQUAL, DIFF, DELETE. Also generating so much of the report code from inside the monad feels unnatural - I need to read files as I go, so some code has to be in the monad, but a suite of "bigger" combinators (i.e. that make specialized document fragments) than the XHtml ones might be useful.
