in reply to PM CSS and markup optimizations

Very nice! Good work!

BTW, you could also copy the original CSS files for editing and use CSS::Minifier::XS on the production file for even more saved bytes.

I just noticed that some of the Nodelets (like "Other users" and "* Best") are peppered with span-elements for even/odd row coloring. Given that these nodelets are mostly link lists, with the link color provided by the browser, this also seems to achieve nothing else than wasting bandwidth (and the nodelets are not cached, compared to the CSS file which are). Maybe you could take a look at that, too?

Sorry for any bad spelling, broken formatting and missing code examples. During a slight disagreement with my bicycle (which i lost), i broke my left forearm near the elbow. I'm doing the best i can here...

    can be made simpler too. I will make sure to add a CSS rule and strip this all out of the demo version.
