[WSG] css syntactical efficiency

Re: [WSG] Your opinion and feedback requested

I also tested the site in Safari, Jason, but my results weren't so good as Nelson's. I tend to browse using a largish text size, because I have a really lovely high-resolution monitor. Turns out that was the problem... in fact, the sentinare.com layout falls apart pretty badly on my screen with j
