I honestly don't think the italics are necessary either--the headers are differently-coloured,
in slightly larger text, and outdented relative to the links below them.

In the end, webpage design is a form of user interface design, and it's just as prone to
the problem of the universe creating bigger and better idiots as any other form of
programming.  If you can imagine a mistake, there's always someone out there somewhere
who's capable of making it.  ;P

That's at the bottom of my priority list right now, until the design is otherwise finalized
and I'm reasonably sure the size isn't going to change again.
