but most of the folks who responded, were -1 on not having the submit 
button.

I definitely agree with you that your snapshot looks great! But we don't 
want usability to suffer.

If I'm not mistaken currently we have:

-1: Bill, Jonathan, Thomas
-0: Stas
+1: Allan

for not having the submit button.

my only question is whether we should turn pdf and src labels into 
images to make sure that the same text font/size is used as in prev|next 
or simply to use text. mainly because the sizes cannot be part of the 
image, so it's good to have the size and the label (pfd|src) of the same 
typeset.
