Beats me, i'm the wrong person to ask anyway because i wasn't the one that
didn't want to use only <pre> tags.

I already _do_ write good HTML, ik only use _real_ HTML, not the polluted
versions that MS and NS create by using their own made-up tags.
I only use standard code, i don't even define fonts in my HTML!

I test my code in the major browsers, IE, NS Opera and Lynx (For Win32).
If someone then has a problem with my page, they should either upgrade, stay
away or at least they shouldn't complain.
