Confirmed, it's there. Apache still doesn't show it, but now I know. :-)

Yes, that would be helpful.

On the other hand, I still think that adding all that color information 
is a glitch. As the name implies, positioning.css is about where <div>s 
and other things should be positioned, rather than how they should look 
like.

Cheers,
