This stuff may not be a showstopper for initial rollout, but it will
be something we will *definitely* want to fix at some point.  I mean,
as long as it's only handling new uploads and stuff, we can tell the
artists on the mailing list to use a Real Browser(TM), but if we're
going to replace the home page with it, we'll want it to be at least
minimally usable in IE too.  And eventually we'll care about the
aesthetics.

Ah, well, I guess we can LATER it for now.  It already looks rather
better (in Gecko) than it did, although getting it like that was a
pile of hacks.

At first I thought it might be, but no, there's some quite invalid
HTML involved.

Ah, quite so.  Hmmm...
