I am really impressed with the "new" version of Lean Skin. It looks great 
in IE 6 and in Firefox (my browser of choice).

I was initially dismayed to see that Lean Skin did not have 
page-self-reference links. On other skins I use them as a way to abandon 
edits and go back to the display view. But to my surprise, you do have a 
self-link in the edit view! Very subtle but also very user friendly.

The only problems I could find in examining the skin on PmWiki.org is with 
the print and history views. On the print view, the title should link back 
to the page view, but it actually links to Cookbook. Is this a PmWiki bug 
or something you can fix? In the history view, when you hover over the Lean 
Skin name the popup claims it was last updated in 1969.

Great job. I will be downloading and trying it out later today.
