I've now more or less settled on the style I want (implementation may
need more polish).

If anyone is interested the link is:
http://www.musically.me.uk/newindex.html

The first three page links are valid, as are all the music links. The
entries are *supposed* to be centred, but only Opera an IE7 do that
correctly as far as I know, and IE7 gets the vertical distances wrong
- I don't know if it actually does the span text at all.

Firefox and all the other geko based browsers seem to get everything
right except the centreing.

w3c validates as 100% html, and almost as good css - there are a couple
of webkit links which may or may not work!

Comments welcome.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
