I have made some adjustments and added a section and a new page
to try to incorporate this idea, but it needs more work. I had
various problems and have given up for a moment... See:
http://tinyurl.com/32n6hm
and the linked page. On my winbox in IE 6 the borders around the
spans do not appear properly, nor the background colour nor is
the text left-aligned - though the spans are nicely centered!
Perhaps I have not implemented the idea properly?
Damn IE!
