Probably will -- not a big priority since so few browsers recognize 
min- and max-anything. It'll get there eventually.

:( No idea about this one; can one of the glitch gurus weigh in, or 
have I managed to unearth something new?

No, not a huge problem, but certainly strange. Did you mean this 
happens in all IEs (5 and 6), or a particular version?

Sure, the border thing is an old issue -- I'm not sure what you mean by 
"a solid border along the bottom," though. Do you mean that the bottom 
edge of the entire nav div has a solid border? (There's supposed to be 
a solid 1px border on all sides of it.)

That's actually the idea, and I'm not entirely sure why it's failing to 
do so in some browsers. I've got a position:relative on the content 
div, so it should be absolutely positioning with relation to that -- 
but it only is in the most compliant browsers. Thoughts?

-.- uh...

IE drives me nuts... I don't know about this.

Surprisingly that's not the audience at all (details are beyond the 
scope of this discussion), and while I'm not 100% set on this font 
scheme yet, I'm pretty comfortable with it. We'll see...

Thanks a lot,
