Can you explain a bit more where the unexpected text overlapping occurs 
in that page?

I've looked at it in Mozilla 1.2.1 on Debian, and the only overlapping 
of text I can see is the <pre>preformatted</pre> text, which overlaps 
the column on the right if I make the browser 550 px wide.

The contents of the right column wraps to the bottom of the page if I 
make the browser about 440 px wide or less. At that width, the browser 
no longer has a visible Location widget.


Does anything occur for you other that what I have described?

Is there anything undesirable about what I have described?
