It's _very_ unfortunate that neither Firefox or HTML 4.01 embrace this
useful tag. Furthermore, Firefox also ignores the ­ or ­ code
which _IS_ part of the HTML 4 standard
(http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/sgml/entities.html). Now I'm relegated to
having to post a message that says something to the effect of... "For
best results with a printed copy of this table, use Internet Explorer." :(
