Attachment: source of the page that shows the wrong layout

This is the source of the page that shows the wrong layout. I've stripped it from script and img tags, but I made sure it still shows the strange rendering on trunk.

I noticed that a lot of table rows have display: inline-block; set as style. When I remove those, the layout looks also correct on trunk.
So this seems like a tech evangelism issue to me, because now that Firefox does something with inline-block, the site looks bad, because it is misusing the inline-block rule.
Also, see Opera9, where you get to see the same problem.

Attachment: source of the page, the same, but now without inline-block

Here I've attached the same (zipped up) page, but now with the  style="display: inline-block;" rule removed for all table rows.
This one just looks just fine in current trunk build (although there are some tiny rendering differences compared to branch).
