I don't support them fully too. type=2 ++ is for IE 5 ++ ;)

yeah.. I don't know how to tell it in English. ;)
We have our Corporate Design which is orange and defines the headers 
etc.. Then we have a design which is a modification of our Corporate 
Design in several other colors like green and blue....

OK. I just looked into the firefox web dev toolbar and clicked on show 
CSS.. Well.. All of the files are shown twice or even three times (as 
i'm using 2 iframes..) So you can just divide by 2 again ;)
Another half of the CSS are the t3 defaults. I would like to get rid of 
those which I don't need, but T3 doesn't offer me this afaik. So you can 
divide the result by 1.6.. Then you might see what is done by me ;)

Well I will remove some of them, but as you might know, there is a 
German test for disabled persons and it complains if you don't have a 
font declaration here and there ...


I have to go.. I'll might answer to the rest later :)
