Hi!

I did some testing with NS 4 this weekend and I think I found a CSS-only
design that's sort of good-looking /and/ working in NS4 (WinME), IE 5.5
(WinME), Mozilla (Linux) and Opera (Linux).

Please check with other browser/OS:

Things I did:
* Changed the main navbar: droped the boxes, used arrows instead
* Removed an inline style attribute in the W3C-CSS image, that caused some
serious problems in NS4
* added <hr> in tail to span pages with little content over the whole page
* removed some HTML-errors spotted by Allan
* removed borders around boxes, because they are rendered very ugly and
distortingly in NS4
* moved download widget left of prev/up/next widget
* simplified last-modified 
* Some major fiddling with style.css, mainly:
  - added width:160px to the navbar boxes. This way they are all the same
size in NS4
  - added width:100% to rigth boxes, so they span the whole page in NS4
  - added right-margin:20px to rightbox, to prevent browsers from drawing a
horizontal scrollbar
  - changed font-size to 11px in the NavBar. I did this because with IE5.5
the font was so big that "Documentation" didn't fit into the NavBar and thus
caused some ugly resizing
 
 
Some unresolved (unresolvable) issues:
* Font sizes: IE renders fonts bigger. Period. The only thing you can do
about it is specifiy the fonts absolute values, which is not userfriendly.
