Minor quibbles:

* The header hits a common problem - treating read/talk/edit/history
as four different interfaces to the same page, while they're really
three interfaces to the page (read/edit/history) and one link to
another page (talk) with its own three interfaces.

* The three-column system will look strangely constrained for pages
with very short (<<1 screen height) infoboxes or very few headings.

* It's not clear what would happen to our usual mass of footer
navboxes, most of which assume full-width screens. Perhaps they could
be migrated to the side columns?

Major quibbles

* Languages have got lost entirely! (again...)
