Doesn't look too good in Mozilla Firebird 0.7 :(

If I increase the font size, the text runs out from the gray header box

Good grief. Give the guy a hand for doing it right, instead of picking it apart. No site is perfect under every circumstance.

Alex - great job.

Dave: Do I detect a little testiness following the recent feedback for the Mozilla.org redesign? ;-)

Not that you don't deserve to be testy -- you did some fine work, and those who are heaping the stones upon you at this early stage will be quieted after you deftly address their concerns.

Good job Alex! (and Dave, too ;-)

A good example of standards being implemented in the mainstream. Encouraging is the word that springs to mind

Well done and thanks for the background info as well.

It looks good...nice to see attractive CSS-based designs coming into the mainstream! (tho I'll agree that the font is darn small...and grey? hard to read.)
