5. Is readable without any fiddling for the visitor.

Also, please explain the difference between 1. and 3 in your list of
"problems" as well as the difference between 2 and 4. As stated, we are
talking a single table with ~4 TD tags here, not your typical insane
table-in-table-in-table site produced by a double-clicking FrontPage
luser.

My suggestion came after SEVERAL users have stated rather bad CSS
problems that obviously need a fair amount of further polishing whereas
the above is a ~10 minute fix at most.

Your list of nice features contains "almost" and "relatively" which are
rather typical and (as you most likely know) hardly any of those nice
features would be affected by the very minor amendments suggested.

Obviously, Mika will do it the way he likes to do it regardless of what
you and I think.
