Looks generally very good. Lots of useful information in a concise form. A minor nit: "There are four sponsorship levels, defined by donation and in-return benefits of sponsorship." doesn't read well IMO - it's not immediately obvious what "in-return" means. === I found the hyphenation some- what dis- tracting. Would it be possible to see if the layout will still work if hyphenation is disabled? Or at least restricted to instances where at least 4 or so characters remain in each part of the word? > I ended up doing this in XSL with FOP.
