One of the things I kept looking for on the list was to move as much format to CSS as possible. The browser can cache the CSS and the page size is reduced. I just did a sample of http://www.ustea.biz/intro.html and reduced the home page from 20kb to 7kb http://www.myjavaserver.com/dlm8751/ustea/intro.html. Aside from some small font differences it looks pretty close in IE. I’m still trying to get mozilla to handle the three column layout but it still looks good.
