<legend style="width:200px">Test<legend>

In IE and Opera this is shown correctly, but Gecko isn't rendering it. Not a big deal, but it would be nice.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create an XHTML document containing a fieldset
2.Put a legend inside of the fieldset
3.Style the width of the legend
Actual Results:  
The attribute is completely ignored.

Expected Results:  
If you specify a border with padding you should be able to see a block element at the specified width with the legend text inside.

Legend is an inline element.  Which changing it's display to block I would have thought would have allowed us to set its size.  But that's not the case due to bug 292736.
