The page-framing tables of most of the subsections of this site render
badly, especially the "contacts" and "DNA" sections, which have the center
body cells stretched massively.
(This may be a problem with our HTML, but this was pretty much the only way
we found to code the table so they'd render how we wanted on NS 3 & 4 and
IE 3 & 4. If you find horrible problems with our HTML, I'd be very grateful if
you could let me know)
I'm not sure if Bugzilla's got my Mozilla version right, but it's M3.

At this time, I don't see the center body cells stretched "massively" as
reported (although I expect this was similar to www.alphalinux.com and a few
others that have been fixed). yoz@yoz.com: how does the /contacts/ page look
to you in a recent build.
I note three remaining problems (all known/filed as other bugs):
1) <a><img></a> line-spacing bug #5900 generates white vertical gaps
between some of the images.
2) "<font><p>" -- residual font bug #911 (body of the text is in the
'wrong' font face)
3) New bug: parsing of '<<' differs on 5.0 -- filed as bug #6960 (in the
'/contacts/' page this actually caused a small distortion in the tables due
to an _unbreakable_ text line -- so it's not a tables bug; just a 4.xP
parsing buglet).
[Note to yoz@yoz.com: When you want to use the character '<' as part of the
_readable_ text, you _should_ use the sequence '<' wherever you want the
reader to see '<'. See any reference on HTML for details.]
So, ChrisK -- mark WORKSFORME or FIXED or DUPLICATE? I dunno ...
