The central notice banner is only shown to logged in users. Why are we even loading the notice in a separate out of band http request. And not bothering to cache it at that.
It is cacheable (public, max-age=300, s-maxage=300) but for some reason my browser (FF 6.0.1) isn't caching it. There are all sorts of reasons CN needs to load the notice using JS, at least for anons. For logged-in users, I guess it might be possible to move the logic server-side, but that would be kind of stupid if you can't also do that for logged-out users. A height reservation would probably be best.
If you could do that so that it worked for people with unexpectedly large type sizes set in their browser (ie: and didn't spill out of your box overtop of the rest of the page) that would be great.
I'm not sure it's possible, though; is it?
