Sigh.  "Anyone who slaps a 'this page is best viewed with Browser
X' label on a Web page appears to be yearning for the bad old days,
before the Web, when you had very little chance of reading a document
written on another computer, another word processor, or another
network."  -- Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the Web.
