Knowing Matthew Brealey, I suspect a large portion of the "bugs" he reports are
INVALID, and many of the others are already reported in bugzilla.  (We had a
debate on n.p.m.layout or n.p.m.style a while back.  See
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=slrn8ce044.ov8.dbaron%40is03.fas.harvard.edu&output=gplain
)  Furthermore, it's almost impossible to get simple testcases from the examples
he gives.  Furthermore, he's testing in our quirks mode where we have a number
of intentional bugs for backwards-compatilibity, since existing pages on the web
rely on those bugs to work.  See http://mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/quirks/ .
 Finally, the page is (c) 2000, and thus over a year old.  Mozilla has changed a
lot in that time.

If you want to test whether the bug reports are still valid in a current build
and file each valid one as a separate bug, with a testcase attached, please go
ahead.  However, I don't think there are enough valid bugs here to make going
through the whole thing worthwhile (rather than fixing many of the numbers of
known real bugs already in the bug system).  So marking INVALID.

Hrm.  There are at least a few valid ones though.  (Some of the ones on
case-sensisitivity probably are.)  It might be worth going through.  But there's
no 'upper-greek' in the CSS2 spec, despite my comment in my news post mentioned
in comment 0.

verifying, I'll make individual test cases as necessary.
