I used Mozilla M17 to view it. It looks quite cool, although the fonts are a
bit too small. Is that fixed size? I can't parse ".9em" offhand, but I'm
guessing it's not variable because I remember setting up my fonts
preferences to use bigger font size.
The "H A N D S D S" part wasn't immediately obvious what it was for, so I
didn't like it.
The incompatibility with old-class Nescaffe browsers would pose a large
problem -- Mozilla still isn't too widely used.

That shouldn't be a problem.

I've CC:ed the debian-www list (you don't have to be subscribed to post
there BTW) so that other can see and comment on your page.
