This is invalid code. You cannot have text within an OL outside of
a LI. You can't predict what a browser will do with invalid code.

What about the other 750 (or so) browsers?

Navigator 4.0b3 does not implement much of anything very well when it
comes to CSS. (Has anyone found a way to get Navigator 4.0b3 to
understand that not all styled elements are block-level? Explicitly
setting { display: inline } causes lines to overlap and disappear.)

It should. <P>Foo<OL> contains an implicit </P> before the <OL>.
MSIE doesn't understand this, but it's true. (This MSIE bug makes it
hard to apply a style sheet to documents in which all <P>'s and
</P>'s have not been explicitly included, since inconsistent
margins often result.)
