I visited their website.  It doesn't look like it helped them very much.  : p

I do tend to think that a template mechanism would server Walter Bright's objectives better than the macro scheme.  Each page outside the template ought to only have the content section.  Having only a minimal set of directives would be more maintainable, and easier to parse towards pdf or any other format.

I would think <h1-5>,<p>,<code>,<q>,<img>, and <a href> ought to do it; but there might be a couple others.

Walter Bright wanted me to touch up the look first, so I submitted several small changes to the css that ought to make the site look a little more refined without improving functionality much. 

I didn't notice that post about the IE7 bug before submitting the patch to Walter though; and the comments/rss mechanism hasn't been touched.

Next go round?  : p
