Can you post a diff to the list?

I personally feel that the background colour/image of the headers has too 
little contrast against the black text that's used on it - difficult to read, 
especially for people with sight problems.

I was gonna play with validating it, but I decided to bid on a motorbike on 
ebay instead! (almost as fun ;)  )
