Actually, I think a smaller font improves the readability on that page. Left as it is, I would always hit "decrease font" two or three times in my browser before reading. (And that's even not counting the layout problems the current font size causes.) I also agree with what others said about needing a better visual boundary between the different descriptions. Only other thing I could bring up is that I'm really not as much a fan of justified text as Andrei. But I can live with it fine, of course, just as I've been doing (and I don't want to start a "left-aligned" vs "justified" bikeshed war). But other than those things, I think it looks great.
