I am getting these errors today using Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008041604 Minefield/3.0pre, whenever I visit any MLB site, such as Error: The stylesheet http://tampabay.rays.mlb.com/index.jsp?c_id=tb was not loaded because its MIME type, "text/html", is not "text/css".

Marcia, that's a separate evangelism issue. We haven't loaded improperly mime typed css in standards mode in quite a while.

As of this morning, http://dell.com/ loads its CSS from http://www-cdn.dell.com/content/public/css.aspx (query string omitted for brevity - it doesn't seem to matter) and that URL is served as text/css.

Other pages at dell.com may still have problems but I suspect it would be better to file new bugs.
