Thanks, Hugh -- appreciate the kind words. I think the graphic headers were chosen because we wanted that lighter face font there, and couldn't get anything that light using the anticipated installed fonts. They're rendered using image replacement (FIR), so there are still H3 headers without the CSS, I believe... Basically, a design-driven decision.
And Russ, thanks for those links on 'color deficiency'... Even reading that, it still looks like the issue is a low-contrast one, not color. That's still a valid issue, but not exactly the same thing.

Nate,
I, too, was surprised at the 'forcefulness' of some of the feedback. I would be interested to know whether they could come anywhere close to your level of aesthetic competence. I was hugely impressed when I saw what you had done.
There is a tension, isn't there, between the aesthetic and the accessible? Not always easily resolved.
One thing I wanted to ask you about was why you chose to use graphic headers in the right hand boxes. Your large type in the left hand coloured boxes is very successful.

Again, thanks for the feedback! I'm really enjoying the discussions on this list.
