Hi Ben,

the CSS is already being worked upon in the wiki (see Ingmar's post for 
that), and I think that we should try to fix one thing *after* the other:

1. Microtypography: Clean up the CSS by removing the lots of redundant 
line-height, font-size, etc. Make font-sizes scalable, make h1-hx be 
visually distinguishable (which they are not not), make all the margin 
and padding stuff scalable (em-sizes or percent).

2. Layout: Make the whole layout fluid (or at least bigger), clean up 
the positioning and margins to be scalable and not fixed pixels.

3. Make the content rendering valid and accessible (I actually wonder 
how typo3.org could have such basic errors as incorrectly nested <h1><a> 
with plain CSC)

4. Do fancy stuff like stylesheet switching, enhancement of 
content-related CSS and HMTL (for the doc section, TER etc.)


In the wiki, I started cleaning up the stylesheet without touching 
anything else. I'd really appreciate if any of you gurus could go over 
the CSS and help slim it down *without* actually changing the look of 
the site at all. *Then* we can start enhancing the layout and have much 
less work.

Also, if anybody has an idea about how to organize this better than in 
the wiki (where there is no visual feedback on how the site would look 
with rev. xyz) step forward.

Greets,
Michael
