it's supposed to look like a black lab on roller skates, but that's 
pretty close...

here's what i can offer:

- it looks like NN4.x on linux doesn't dig the CSS around the form 
elements... i don't recall seeing this in testing, so it's new to me...

- NN4.x has problems with the margin attribute when defined in the 
CSS for the <body> tag... as such, it causes the scroll bars 
without actually needing a scroll... to leave the attribute out would 
make it wonky for all non-NN4.x users, and even for the NN4.x 
users... to modify it with <body> attributes or other tweaks would 
make the CSS or the HTML non-compliant...

all in all, we targetted compliance to specs over absolute precise 
uniformity of rendering across *all* platforms and *all* browsers... 
as such, there will be quirks... but with N6, Opera5, and IE5, there 
is more standards-compliance than ever, so while this site is 
usable with all browsers, those that have higher compliance to 
rendering specs will show it closer to the way it was designed...
