May have that - haven't checked.

There are workarounds for that, which I have used.

Yep, can only be in the upper left corner and *can't repeat*. Which is why I 
use border images in IE 6 that are 25 pixels by 30000 pixels to match some 
of the very long boxes. :O Take no disk space at all, but may not be good on 
memory... I wish I could find a better solution for that. Luckily, in all 
other browsers, those images are never used.

Well, the IE 6 specific style sheet is inside a comment tag, so won't be 
visible to validators or other browsers.

I seem to get rather slow loading of the pages, which may be caused by the 
huge border images. I haven't observed any other problems.
