Hi Humdinger,

Ah! Now we know who to charge for the crime! Sending the police right
over. :P
I disagree. Moving the title below the logo would unnecessarily waste
space. The space in front of H1/2/3 serves a purpose: It helps to
distinguish blocks of content and also helps when scrolling down a
longer page.
I agree that the space in front of H1/2/3 serves a purpose, but I think
it is a bit excessive now. A 30-40% reduction in those values would
provide more than adequate visual distinction between sections, while
the white space saved in doing so would offset the space that a page
title at the top of the content area would use. To actually show what I
mean (and for visual comparison purposes), here is a screenshot showing
the current layout (right) side by side to a variation with adjusted
spacing values (left):

These are relatively minor tweaks that I think would help improve the
already awesome user guide. But I don't feel that strong (as you
probably do) about it, so feel free to take them or leave them. :)
Either way, keep up the good work! Cheers,
Jorge/aka Koki
