The text beginning with "Congestion charging is a way of ensuring..." is not
correctly wrapped in Mozilla, but it is in IE6.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to URL with Mozilla
2. Look at screen
3. Become confused when the first sentence doesn't make sense

Actual Results:  
Therapy. Lots of Therapy.

Expected Results:  
Wrapped the text as IE does.

Thanks for writing such a cool browser, it has supplanted IE as my daily browser
on Windows... and Linux.

Confirming. Odd, because when you select it, the highlighting is weird, and if
you copy paste, you get all the text.

I have no idea if that's the expected behaviour.

Nice testcase.
Additionally I noticed that adding a width to the inner abs. pos. DIV makes
the text wrap (even "width:0px" will do). Also, the left position is dynamically
changed with JavaScript and the layout of the URL is correct for that part.
Changing the TABLE to a DIV makes the text wrap, so it seems to be a table
problem when inside a nested abs. pos. block without a specified width.
