I decided the design was good enough to roll out, although it still requires a bit of tweaking. It currently looks lovely in OmniWeb and Safari (webkit) and not-ugly in Firefox, IE, and Safari Mobile. Fonts currently work in OmniWeb, Safari, and Firefox, but I've only got TTF so the others are backing off to a few standard fonts; and the rounded corners only work in the desktop webkit browsers and the gradients don't work on iPods. But in all these cases there is a good graceful degradation, so I'm happy enough to slide the CSS into place.
Some readers might be pleased to note that the background isn't quite white; it's just enough off-white to take the edge off, I think.
Enough fussing for now. Merry Christmas!
