I was half way done and am familiar with all the different classes
so it rather easy :)

How is it confusing on the front page? The double 'PHP Manual'
entry? I fixed that, and the positioning of the bookinfo page.
(see below)

Which is better? the wrapping or the trucate... method? I have a
css method that will make the wrapping look good with the bullets,
which could be implemented easily, if we want the full text to
display.

oops.. for some reason I thought it was already 2005
Here are some changes I've done since yesterday:
- margin's on boxed areas more consistent
- reduced parameter/constant list vspacing
- tables... remove extra right spacing, allow table to grow up to
0.6em of right margin.
- indent second line (4em) on methodsynopses (when wrapped)
- better h* seperation to visually see section differences.
- indent function/chapter list
- ul.itemized/li items fixed vspacing
- some/alot css menu tweeks and made clickable area much larger
- left navigation loads better, the dashed line loads up to
navigation height, until content loads.
- the double PHP Manual (bookinfo) entry in navigation.
- bookinfo page. fixed absolute positioning.
- tested IE6, firefox and opera (which doesnt like % font sizes)
TODO:
- verify new font usage
- left nav width issue
- verify with more browsers.
- seperate css to allow print versions
- anything i haven't seen wrong

First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes
you've been hearing about. No, sir. Our model is the trapezoid!
