Yes. If people don't mention which version of Forrest,
then we just assume the trunk of SVN development.
That is what the website docs refer to.

I would just suggest a minor change to how it works now:
put the extra-css at the end of the generated page.css so users
can override easily the forrest classes in skinconf.xml
(this is done in forrest.css.xslt).
