That seems a good idea, it is also broken in official POV on Linux, if you
have it rewritten it is probably a good idea to test if it fixes the
problems on all platforms since those do not necessarily have to be the
same.

Yvo already explained the Mac specialities - it looks fine on:

IE 5 Windows
Mozilla 1 Windows
Konqueror 3.0.1 Linux

but it has serious problems with Netscape 4.x - trying without the style
sheet might help.
