6. George dislikes the fact that input{display:block} makes hidden inputs visible in Firefox 3.5. Adding input[type=hidden] rules to compensate.

8. Site bookmarked: LESS - Leaner CSS

   Less is Leaner css. Less extends css by adding: variables, mixins, operations and nested rules. Write .less files and then compile them to .css files. Not sure about the nested rules and mixins, they may just result in bad CSS, but the variables and operations could be very useful.
