    3,600,000,000 tons of coal were produced

    I don't know about you, but that sounds pretty good to me. How many tons of coal were mined and consumed? It's be nice to know if production is staying ahead of consumption.

    So I would be more inclined to blame the /. server, than the Gecko rendering engine.

    No, it's Gecko. I misremember the Bugzilla #, but Firefox, Mozilla, et al have trouble rendering the legacy sites that abuse tables to provide layout. It would be nice if they would fix it, since there are sites that many people like to view where the authors lack the education, skill or drive to produce clean HTML.

    It's hard to blame them, though. There are other bugs that have a higher priority than diapering some web developers who are unwilling to progress past a Frontpage level of coding.

    It's the constant problem of developers dragging the browsers into the modern age kicking and screaming.

    I think you have that backwards. It the developers that are so dedicated to their half-assed, broken-down non-standard webpages who go so far as to block connections from the W3C's HTML validator out of shame that are being dragged kicking and sreaming into 1998.
