Nope I don't think there are any other places.  If you would be putting 
multimedia content into those documents you might also want to have a 
look at the MultiMediaObject document type.  The xsl is found in 
<wiki.home>/webapp/daisy/resources/skins/default/document-styling/html/MultiMediaObject.xsl.  
If you don't know about document specific styling you might want to have 
a look in the documentation :
