The word "Janus" in 12 nested <big> tags is about 20x larger on Firefox 0.8 than
IE6 on the web page http://http.cs.berkeley.edu/~daw/janus/

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://http.cs.berkeley.edu/~daw/janus/
2. the word "Janus" is HUGE, larger than the screen

Actual Results:  
the word "Janus" is HUGE, larger than the screen!

Expected Results:  
Same text layout as IE6
IE6 won't permit <big>'s to go past <font size=7> (it ignores further nested
<big> tags), but Mozilla does what the site author told it to do. It was decided
in bug 206235 that this won't be changed. Please read that bug for more
information about this issue.
