<p class="teaser">Scroll down to see the effect. Actually I just wanted to code a layout idea with a curved cut header image, but ended up with this one. Even though it looks fine and performance quite good, I dislike the idea of having an inline svg in the markup, that only has an asthetic/design function. Any ideas on how to improve this pen are welcome.</p>
