Thanks for your feedback everybody.

Great idea. I changed that and made sure the links lose their link
colour on hover (to show there's nothing to actually click).
While looking at the links I also removed the bold from the features
and the bullet points from the lists. Looks cleaner like this, but
could it be too clean?

Hm, I'm not married to those ideas, but I do consider them part of the
whole design to give a bit of bibliography 'flavour' to the look of
the site.
The site will certainly work without this but I wonder whether it may
be a bit bland.
I put a little conditional in the new version so you can compare both
versions side by side (by moving the mouse in and out of the window).

Bummer, is that slow as in horribly slow? If it is, one may need to
look into dropping frames of the animation. (What kind of machine /
browser are you using?)
> Did you have a look at the SF icons?
No. I think I must have missed that point. I just put text at the
bottom of the page for the time being.
Looking at their wiki suggests that we are 'encouraged' to use the
logo and that it's used for access statistics. Does anybody use these
statistics?

Thanks, I didn't move the CSS properly. Got that one. (just the
solution you mention)
BTW, is there any chance we have an original file for the icon?
Looking at it in the header there suggests that the shadow on the
right is cut off. That may be worth fixing in the icon itself.

They actually do with the script used in this variant (which is
another reason why I prefer it over the one I tried in the index2.html
version). If JS doesn't work, all that remains is a direct link to the
image file. (One does lose the description that way, though).

I want the baselines to be flush but that didn't work for the first
heading (because of the larger size of the download link). I fixed
that now, even though in a different way than you suggested.
I also added a 16px BibDesk icon as a favicon now. But I don't really
think it comes out too well at that size. So I'm wondering whether it
might be a better idea to use the paperclip icon there, particularly
as the big BibDesk icon is visible on the page anyway.
