One huge, overwhelming problem with this solution: old Netscape 4's (around
4.05) consider the loading of a page also a resize event. Therefore in the
oldies you get a page that just keeps on reloading.

Absolutely positioned content makes everything far worse, but on the Mac all
styles disappear onResize, even your simple font colours. And the reload
onResize, no, Netscape doesn't do that automatically.
