Most days it seems we already have a slightly-delayed tool for this, called
"Tim" <wink>.  Unfortunately, it doesn't catch non-Windows glitches.

The new pages are great, Andrew!  My only gripe:  bulleted lists have no
vertical whitespace between bullet points, when viewed under (at least) IE
6.  This makes them hard to read, and even misleading when a bullet item
contains more than one paragraph.

o This is the first bullet point, and yadda
  yadda yadda.
o This is the second bullet point, and
  so likewise.
o This is the third bullet point.

  This is not the fourth bullet point, it's
  another paragraph in the third.
o But this is the fourth bullet point.

I guess the prime advantage of style sheets is that they're an easy way to
screw up a whole site at once <wink>.
