This fixes a good bit of it, although 'width' is still broken.

IE4 seems to treat marquee as an inline, but dbaron tells me that the XBL
implementation of marquee in mozilla uses blocks etc.

I'll sr=[e-mail] this patch so that we can style the current
implementation, but if we really want to be compatible with MS we'll need to
make our implementation an inline.

As a testcase, I simply modified attachment 95560 [details] to look something like:

  Before <marquee> ... </marquee> After

according to msdn
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/objects/marquee.asp):

This element is a block element.

I'm going to mark this fixed, since it's as fixed as I'm going to make it.  (Fix
checked in, 2002-08-19 11:43 PDT.)

However, I filed two new bugs:
 * bug 163504, to investigate whether it should really be inline-block
 * bug 163505, which would cover fixing the remaining problems with the 'width'
property

Will this make it to 1.0.1?

verifying based on comments.
The broken width is being looked into in bug 163505
