Thanks. Also, to avoid the minibuffer text running into the url-panel
text, we could do something like:
padding-left: 0.5em !important;
BTW, I noticed that the text baselines do not appear to be correctly
aligned after all, regardless of font.

Thanks for looking into this. I've done some reading and tried some
variations, but haven't yet found a solution.

I won't insist on the point, but the relationship I see is that the
purpose of both the url panel and overlink mode is to provide the user
with information on a link before following it. While the features are
separate and the kind of interaction is different, from the user's point
of view the same information is useful in each case.
