'Aight. I just had a random brainfart concerning the issue with the current
Mozilla on the main page not having a text link like the development versions do.
Right now the headline reads "Mozilla 1.5", the only link is the button on the
left with the big M, right?
Now, making the headline would most certainly look like ****. So, to keep it in
line with the styling of the tech previews, why not just rename the headline to
something more general like "Mozilla Application Suite", or "Latest Stable", or
"Latest Release", or whatever and put "Mozilla 1.5" as a text link in the box,
just the way you did it with the tech previews?
Anything would be better than having no text link at all - especially with the
only link being an icon which does not look like a link and does not visually
respond to user interaction, like a link would do (color change, border,
anything, actually), which is a definite usability issue.

Attachment: patch for more prominent link to /products/mozilla1.x

Well, the current %%MOZILLA-STABLE-VERSION%% that we see in CVS is pretty
generic ;).  

I'm not sure how to do this to make it look right, but I made the changes to
say "Mozilla Application Suite" in place of "Mozilla 1.*" and added a link
below it.  I can't check into /index.html, and I wouldn't check this in anyway
until somebody else verifies this is what it should look like.

this appears to have been fixed.
