First impressions of the HTML (after 1-2 minutes of reading and scrolling):

- Font size is rather biggish. Maybe 10% smaller or so would be better and
more in line with the average informative website?

- I thought the horizontal margins around the main text were too small, but
then I noticed that they grow if I widen the window. This is not what one
expects in HTML, but it works. (However: could a minimum margin be imposed
that is bigger that the current one?)

- GREAT to have the ToC alongside!

- But I really don't like the way the ToC adjusts when you use the slider
to scroll up and down. Stuff in the ToC rolls up and down, collapses and
expands, and all this is animated. That draws your attention constantly to
a place where it isn't needed. If there's an option to turn the animation off,
I would prefer that. (The fact as such that the ToC follows the scrolling is
of course very useful.)

- All in all though, it already looks _much better_ than our current HTML!
