The OGC website uses CSS to generate a rather standard layout (drop-down menu at
the top, headings on the left). The front page already has a huge horizontal gap
between the headings and the main page. On other pages, the headings move to
various positions on the screen and are unusable. Time for some CSS Evangelism,
methinks.

I don't see this, on any of:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050705
SeaMonkey/1.0a
or Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050706
Firefox/1.0+

All look pretty much the same as IE6.

The above screenshots were made using Firefox 1.0.5 and Internet Explorer 6.
Both running on WinXP with all updates applied.

Either the page has changed or this bug was fixed in Firefox 1.5.
