Luckily, other people have already done that work, they have managed to
come up with nice solutions which have good cross-browser compatibility. I
consider Mozilla-specific CSS a hack.
For example:
Rounded corners: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/customcorners/
Graphical navbars: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/slidingdoors/

Hm, yes - but IMHO the lack of a good navigation menu on the Debian website
is a much more severe problem than whether some rounded corners are jagged
or not, or whether the design looks "cool".

Part of my academic research is about web usability. It /might/ be possible
for me to arrange a medium-scale usability evaluation (~60 student
participants) for the Debian website. This will result in a list of
problems which need to be fixed.
However, this kind of thing only makes sense once the obvious problems have
been fixed. Jutta is currently mostly alone with this immense task, so
progress is slow despite the large amount of time she invests in the
website.
Cheers,
Richard
