OK; Wow. The whiteout is so clever because I spent a lot of time
playing with the different padding attributes of the markup without
luck because the solid horizontal lines trample padding values. But
the solid horizontal lines *are* subject to whiteout, which is really
cool.

Thanks *again*.

as a breadcrumb for myself when I come back to this part of the
archives later ...)
