Packaging sucks but the tips are quite good.

Gezus overload. Looks like useful tips, but oh my.

Some visual examples would be helpful, too.

Some of these are stupid (“Never use italics,” “Use text-transform to capitalize headers and section titles”)†, wrong (“Use list-style-type:decimal in the style sheet instead of changing UL to OL in the HTML to number list items”), and pretty wrong (“Use percentages instead of px for cross browser consistency”), but there's good stuff here.

Though I’d appreciate a note about what browser bug a particular workaround is for.

† The italics rule I'd guess is to avoid the IE6 float bug, but there better workarounds than axing italics. The suggestion for capitalization is wrong because text-transform:capitalize is very basic and simply capitalizes every word, which is incorrect for titling.
