Steve -- they look the same to me, although on the screen grab the colors don't 
match, they do match in hte app, I am using win98, version 2000082304, 
commercial bits -- Kritzer is here and agrees that it looks good. Marking wfm, 
Kritzer will verify on linux and mac

you misread the bug.  they are supposed to have *different* width borders.  
Look at the source of the example.  Look at the example in 4.x

The issue is the following rule in quirks.css:

input[type="text"] {
  border: 2px inset ! important;
  padding: 1px 0 0 0;
} 

Since the border is set as !important, there is no way to really override it
without being in strict mode.  And that's the way we want it to be, as far as I
can tell by the discussion in bug 55336.
