I like the effect, mostly. It mirrors the lines of the logo,
resulting in a parallel-feel rather than triangular, which
isn't ideal, but that is subtle.

Ok great. I've been writing standard html manually for so long
that I didn't realized they finally made it less arbitrary with
what tags have closers and so on.

Sure, I just don't want the text to get too wide, as it is more
difficult to read. Also, I want to allow for screenshots and
perhaps other visual elements on the right.
