I'll see if I can find a nice matching dark blue. The difficult thing about these headers is that they're actually made with a <font size="+1" color="#99000">, so this isn't directly stylable. I'm going to go through the web site and clean these sorts of old-style HTML semantics up, remove HTML text display and formatting tags (except for the tables) and extend the stylesheets.

Speaking of which, between all of this, I need to set up a test box so I can continue working on my src patches in Perforce... Chris, are you subscribed to www@? I just did. I'm out for the evening, but I'll take another look at the comments tomorrow :). Let 'em loose ;) --Devon
