	This version: jan 2008

	(*)The CSS & HTML are heavily edited versions of the didactic 
	example <ComplexSpiral Demo> by Eric A. Meyer.  My own 
	preferences drive most alterations, e.g. when you scroll down 
	very far, I hate it when the links (here: top left) disappear 
	off the screen so you have to scroll back to top before going 
	to another page/folder [YES I'm looking at you, evil GMail 
	frontend!]; the div called  <shell> adds the 25px margin 
	below <content> that most browsers miss; ...
	
	(*) The design idea of suggesting coloured transparency with 
	the background image is due to the designer Eric A. Meyer. 
	I've added a layer of complexity, the fifth picture that 
	underlies <h1> and <h2> headers replaces a background colour 
	for <h1> (and nothing for <h2>). Original flower picture was 
	downloaded from Usenet so the copyright is unknown to me 
	(but the alterations are due to Eric A. Meyer). We wanted an
	Arabidopsis picture for obvious reasons (read the CV!) but 
	can't seem find a suitable one.  Let's face it, <Arabidopsis 
	thaliana> is a sad and ugly weed.

	(*) A lot of the editing has been the moving of ALL style 	
	elements to the CSS file, as it should be!  No kludging 
	around mixing styles, but one central place to rule all 
	matters of layout. The HTML files should be editable by 
	complete beginners without puzzle skills, I believe. Also 
	this means that accessibility (by vision impaired, e.g.)
	should be high as a consequence, since these pages are 
	simple and clean in text-only browsers or when disabling
	the CSS file.	

	(*) The empty <kludge> div is to combat an IntExplorer	
	bug where the first div of <content> gets the wrong margin 
	[only visible if bg of that div differs]	  	  	*/
