It will certainly be interesting to see how well it works.

The one problem you can get when focussing on lots of small usability  
issues, though, is that if you don't also keep the overall usability  
goals and design principles in mind, you can end up addressing those  
small issues so much in isolation that they don't necessarily improve  
the overall experience.

Cheeri,
