cooool :)

I like rounded corners. But I don't like the various
approaches I've seen using images and extra markup.

This is interesting.  No images?  Still, I think the
jQuery corners script is much more elegant.  I don't
really notice the aliasing in my browser.

Cool. Interested to see what you do with this.

I like the concept of the top bar, but it does (as a
barrage of people have noted) push down the page
slightly.  Many reduce some of the padding on this? It
would create a nice space for secondary links though.

I think the AJAX stuff should stay out of this for
now, as it adds more work to the already endless pile
:)

Keep at it, I'd really like to see more.  The more
variations and ideas thrown in the better, I say.
