Markup Conventions and Styles

This is going to be a LARGE collection of pages, dealt with by lots of different authors. We need to specify conventions to be used to ensure that it all looks like it belongs to the same thing.

The main interface is a frameset - each pane in the frame needs to be treated differently, depending on the sort of stuff the pane contains. The main story pane, for example, will contain moslty text - this differs from the navigation pane which differs again from the media pane.
