Constructive criticism of the Chron.com redesign

A commenter to Dwight Silverman's blog left this link as an example of how he'd prefer Chron.com to look.

I don't dislike the Chron.com redesign, but I really like this guy's suggested improvements.

Maybe the Chron.com folks should take down his name for the next time they're offering sneak previews of proposed changes. He seems to have a good eye for esthetics and usability.
