------- Comment #4 from ddkilzer at kilzer.net  2006-01-29 16:45 -------
Ignore the differences in stylesheets from Comment #3.  Those only change the
size of fonts on the page.

The larger issue is that WebKit is becoming increasingly schizophrenic.  It is
implementing increasingly more of an MSIE 6 personality, while continuing to
maintain its Gecko (Firefox 1.x) personality.  "Old" detection code will soon
(if it's not already) think that WebKit is MSIE 6 or Firefox 1.x depending on
which it checks for first.  What's even more fun is that if there are multiple
browser sniffing checks on a page, part of the JS code could assume it's on
MSIE while another part of the code assumes it's on Firefox.

It looks like the "regressions" on this bug are (in part) due to new code paths
being taken in the JavaScript on the web page due to WebKit behaving more like
MSIE.  This means that to fix this bug, WebKit will have to implement more of
MSIE's behavior.  More details to follow on the individual errors reported to
the JavaScript Console.
