As a webmaster try to format as much as possible with HTML. The most simple way
to highlight important text and pointing out different levels of importance is
to format with the basic <H1-6> headlines.

In all mozilla based browsers the headlines are displayed in general a little
bit smaller than in the IE, but the headline H3 differs too much, which makes it
hard for a webmaster too obtain a consistant look of the website on all
platforms. The headline H3 in the mozilla based browsers (such as i. e. Firefox
or Nescape) is smaller and not bold which makes it not look like a headline.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open i. e. the URL given above with Firefox or Netscape
2. open i. e. the URL given above with IE
3. compare the look of the headlines

Actual Results:  
The headlines differ in size an boldness.

Expected Results:  
Preferebly the headlines should be nearly the same size an look, so it would be
easier for webmasters which cannot afford o pay a horde of webdesigner and
programmer to obtain a consistant look in all browsers.

Use DOM Inspector to verify what is going on.  This particular page has CSS that
is requesting that text have a normal font weight (vs bold).  But in any case,
these are structural elements, and it is not considered a bug that they display
slightly differently than IE.
