BUGS
In addition to the bugs in 0.96s, 0.97e adds the following:
- file urls are displayed as text/plain if no extension is given
- font sizes in forms are random (and, yes forms don't work!)
- reloading the initial page with a style sheet attached sometimes
leaves the page without a stylesheet.
- if a style sheet comes in while in html source mode, the font
changes
- subclasssing the Anchor element does not work
- color.background should be supported as an alias for back.color
- a P element within a DD will upset the style definition of
subsequent DDs.
- the stylesheet mechanism is not yet fully in charge of table
formatting. Rainbow table borders may be a result
- The initial document has to be of type text/html
