I will get on to the 'more' links and add the names.

The names are there already. Just link them to the relevant pages.

"Need some font-resize testing and improvements. Text is overflowing containers in the good browsers under certain conditions, and IE6' 'auto-expansion' bug is not very kind to that layout either."

I spotted this and need to take the height attribute off some divs or
 maybe bring in some kind of auto scroll.

Look at how IE6 does it - before things starts to break too badly. IE6'
'auto-expansion' bug is useful at times, and it can be "replicated" in
less buggy browsers.

"A generous 'min-width' is needed for supporting browsers."

What does this mean? Making the page wider than 850 pixels if the space is there?? Why would this help?

I wrote 'min-width', *not* 'max-width'. At the moment that design can be
squeezed down until everything gets out of shape and overlaps. I don't
think many of those pages will work on narrower windows that around 700
pixels - even after some improvements for font-resizing, so I think you
should add a 'min-width: 700px' to save it.

"I don't think you need more than one IE-expression for 'min/max-width' in that layout - on the outer wrapper, and it definitely needs some tuning for trigger/fix-points and smoothness of

 action."

Can you expand on this as I am interested in knowing more about it.

Read about that 'pixel-based min/max-width expression' here...

...and check out how smooth it works in IE6 on that very page.
Those values must be tuned to each layout. There should not be much
difference in how IE6 handles that layout when window is resized, from
how other browsers handle it.
