Yeah it could be a bit late. But I'm personally not aware of deadlines
-- assuming I should list everything that I think is worth fixing.
Note that in the list, everything below "Bugs" is of minor priority.
Maybe that eases it a bit. :)

I tried this on SC40. If you go to "Contributing", the "Home" tab is
highlighted instead of the current tab. Same on the "About" page.

Ah, ok.
But why have e.g. TABLE > TR > TD#someid > DIV#someid2 > #text if it'
the same thing without the DIV? This is not a bug, though, it's an RFE.

Ok, I understand. This would have been a major accessibility

I'm not Tidy. :) It removes all indentation by default. I agree, it's a
tradeoff between readability.

Oh, I meant this (just an example, not from the code):
padding: .5em 1.5em 1em;
background: white url("background.jpg") scroll no-repeat top left;
Instead of:
padding-top: .5em;
padding-right: 1.5em;
padding-bottom: 1em;
padding-left: 1.5em;
background-image: url("background.jpg");
background-color: white;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top left;
background-attachment: scroll;

The one with "General links" and "Search". Isn't this just a question of
changing one value in the CSS? I think the text is unnecessarily small
and a leftover from the old design.

I agree. This is invalid. :)

Then do we have any control over the (X)HTML of other pages? I get the
image we don't...?
