Hi Leo,

Thanks for your continued work on this.

Non-Mozilla browsers ignore the -moz-border property and will fall-back
on standard non-rounded corners, which is a graceful fallback mechanism.
Do you have any examples of how the banners look in different browsers
at different resolutions/font sizes? We should make sure that the
banners look OK in pretty much any situation.

I'm uncomfortable with the banner text being "hard-wired" into the
macro. If we need to change the text or add new banners we would have to
modify the macro and get the webmaster to upload it. This is a bit
awkward, so I think it would be better if the macro fetched its text
from a wiki page.

Thanks again,

Phil
