I don't like it too much either... That's why I annotated it <!-- -->.
Also I fear that it makes our website look more vulnerable to bad HTML
practices... (especially if for some reason they decided to include divs
into the design).

I know that there are breadcrumbs... but a) only advanced users still know
about breadcrumbs, b) for many native language projects their page is
presented as 'The OpenOffice.org homepage'... offering download, support
etc., everything the normal website does as well. It makes thus more sense
from this perspective not to have such a prominent link linking to the
'English native language' website all the time.

I think another page should be page/s/ ... but just before I wanted to
stop I received this e-mail from Louis, asking for status... it is nicer
to present it as work on progress on the new website if it is presenting
the new homepage as well ;)

True.. I want to say that I really like the, current, approach of just
discarding the old CSS and introducing it only where needed, instead of
the other way around where all CSS is included and we need to undo many of
the preset CSS.

Btw... what to do with all those pages with <p class="header"> ?

... maybe we can add a subtle background notifying the page maintainers
that it /should/ be changed (thus still make them a little bit larger and
stronger... but do include a red/yellow border aside/around of it...?
