YOu don't even wanna know how CSS breaks differently in each browser,
and how they ignore it based on previous tags, etc... it's JUST not
pretty... heck, NS doesn't even honor font-family: information in the
BODY tag, it's just really really really really frightening how totally
standards-incompatible these POS browsers really are.

I know... Chris, tell us what you REALLY think. :-)
