Of course, that's what CSS is for, to specify how the browser must render
the HTML.

Did you refresh your browser's cache ?
(question number 1 of the helpdesk when experiencing HTML problems)

That is just more HTML being generated, not the way HTML is generated, and
thus beside the point.

Graeme,

Did you actually look at the diff I sent for the 2 pages which are displayed
differently ?

1. You sent me the links for 2 pages that look different. 
2. I confirm they are looking different in the browser. 
3. Then I downloaded both pages with wget.
4. I made a diff.
5. I pasted the diff in my mail.

As you can see from the diff, the generated HTML is 100% the same for the part 
that looks different. The ONLY difference is in the CSS and the HTML doctype
tag.

If you claim that different HTML is being generated *for the same information*, 
then please demonstrate it with a proper diff that proves your point.

Michael.
