When there are too many </FONT> tags in a table, the font face for the entire
document is affected. I believe this is erroneous behavior : the <BODY> should
not inherit font attributes from its children.
I originally saw this on the C|Net story above, but I've boiled it down into a
specific testcase for your perusal.

I don't think this is a bug. As far as I can tell, Mozilla handles the testcase
right: For the text below the table, the first FONT tag, but not the second
<FONT size="-1"> is in effect, isnce that has been closed inside the table. I
didn't find anything in the HTML spec that says you can't close a FONT tag
inside a table. You are right, however, in that NS 4.7 ignores the second
closing </FONT> tag in the table, and gives the same style to the text before
and after the table. This might be a compatibility issue worth looking into.

CNet page looks whacky. This got to be fixed for beta3.
