It would be good to make sure it works on all major browsers, first, or at least fails gracefully/unnoticeably. Though I certainly support a Wikipedia which doesn't dumb down to the lowest common technological denominator on its default skin, I think it's important to remember that many of our users (esp. those at schools and libraries) may not be using very new technology (and there's no reason to construct a technological/economic hurdle). This of course applies in general, not just this to instance.
(I'm aware they could change the skin settings, but for the *default* skin, I think this sort of thing needs to be taken into consideration explicitly with all "neat tricks")

That's really cool. Is there any reason we shouldn't be bold and implement it?

That is nifty! It seems to be a relatively straigtforward change to monobook.js, and then use a version of the http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlage:Navigationsleiste_ohne_Bild (that might lead to some heavy transclusion though).

On the German Wikipedia, I've noticed they've got a nifty trick with templates whereby you can include a button to hide an infobox, in the same way as you can hide a contents box. See an example down at the bottom of this page:

I don't know of any templates to do the same thing on en:, and when I tried to replicate the code on the German templates it didn't work. Does anyone know how one might get something similar working on en:?
