Ian,

I see what you have done there: added the verb ranks to their names.
I like it except that it is butt ugly relative to the original clean page.
That may not be a reason to not add the info, but I sort of wonder,
especially if this page is to "sell" J to new users.

Does anyone know how to put tooltips into such a page?
