That's encouraging.  Regarding Opera's mystic message, I suspect it may be a
case of them not quite being there with a new parsing engine.  I reported a
table display problem to them yesterday and got back the response that they
are working on a new display engine.  Hopefully the same is true for the
parsing side of the equation.

[ot: Opera is the first browser I ever liked well enough to pay for.]
