Yes!

*** You're onto something! ***
In the Firebug pane, with the 2nd td expanded, when I bring the
cursor over:
body => teal (all except the top couple of debugging output, that are
exempt from subsequent mention)
<div> => all white
<link> => all white
<p> => all white
<table> => all teal
<tbody> => all teal
<tr> => all teal
<td> left-half => all teal
<td> right-half => all teal
(text) => all teal
That looks to me like the sidebar background-color spec is being
subordinated to the main-page spec or .... I have no idea.
Best wishes,
Richard
