Just to take this off on a slight tangent... You seem pretty
well-versed in CSS, right? ;) Any chance we can convince you to try to
do some cleanup work on our CSS, structuring it nicer and also getting
some comments in there so us mere mortals can understand it? That
would be a *very* welcome piece of help!

If you are, please contact me off-list before you start actually
working, I have some partial pieces of work you'll be interested in
:-)
