Pretty neat.

I think it's great. Can't wait til you get a PhD so we can call you Dr. Fancy
Pants. The topbar looks great (much better to use those dots than the nbsp I
tried). I don't suppose you'll want to make that the default :) Since you can
tell it's Lynx, you can probably do special stuff for the fancy tables too, if
necessary, which is good.
I'm getting the font rendering netscape bug with the topbar. Is that fixable?
Also, I'd suggest keeping "Screenshot" (which is shorter than the string
"Mailing Lists" anyway) for short titles instead of "See".
With the short titles, I would almost be willing to accept using the, um,
"supercool" sidebar, since it takes up a smaller percentage of the page. Can
we make that the default as a compromise? I think that a sidebar navigator is
standard enough web style that you don't need to *tell* people it's a
navigator.
