Wow, this is all good stuff.
However, question for all of you; what do you do in the case that you
need dynamically wide buttons based on the text within them? Craig, I
noticed in your example that you have to set the width of every button.
But let's say you had a custom tag to write these out, and you could
pass it random button text and wanted the button to have the appropriate
width, what would you do in that case?
Put simply, is there a way to get rid of this in the example page?
#btn1 .middle {width:4.4em;}

I'm no Eric Meyers, but I've done that without setting a base font
size -- I may be wrong, but I don't think it's needed.
The technique is pretty simple, just use em's instead of pixels and
provide a rule for every graphic.
I explain it here:

And show an example of it here:
