While the doctype would sort them out usually, it seems that (defop index.css ...) is serving up the page oddly now, such that the CSS isn't being applied.
It's a clever hack but I'm not crazy about the inline CSS and JS in news.arc. I would just serve static files and as a bonus you'll get all the benefits of the CSS and JS modes of your text editor while editing the stuff. Perhaps pg just wanted to keep the arc dir tidy and doesn't actually do that on news.yc.
