   Speaking of which, does anyone have any idea what this means?

   * Following their original web design, tables do not inherit styles
     from the surrounding text or style sheet.
        (quoted from the Navigator 4.0 release notes)

   Well, I-- oh, never mind.

   We can hope.  There are a lot of things I'd like to see implemented in
both browsers-- different things for each browser, of course-- but I think
*correct* support for float on all elements would be a huge step.
Navigator at least supports float, but breaks when you start associating
other properties to the floated element.  Here's a fun example: <P
style="float: right; margin-left: 25px;">.  Go on, try it.  If you don't
want to do the typing, here's an example:

   By the way, is it generally considered good form to send an
'introduction' message to the list when joining, or are such things
optional, or even discouraged?  Just curious...
