Notice that the recent articles roll-overs are horked on the right.  It should
look like a table with equal size cells.  However, it looks truncated.  Also, on
the left hand side, top, the navigation piece with images should have a full
border around the roll-over.  When it displays the background during the
roll-over, only the bottom piece shows through.

The page does:

p.articles a { 
   width: 160px; 
}

However the <a> elements in question are inline, not block.  So the width
property does not apply.  The fact that Windows IE applies it is a fairly major
CSS1 compliance bug in Windows IE.  Mac IE does not apply it.

The issue at the top right is also a CSS compliance issue -- CSS2.  The rollover
effect is on the <a> and the height of the <a> is not affected by the presense
of an image in it and should not be.  Again, IE/Windows gets this wrong.

Over to evangelism.
