At this point, almost a year later, it seems that is no longer true. At the very least, I get basically identical renderings of the page I referenced in Firefox 3.0.5, IE8b2, Safari 3.1.1, and Opera 9.51. There may still be some differences in implementations, but they're close enough that I can confidently use this effect in my designs, and only have to apply workarounds to IE7. ~TJ
