Can you let me know which files you are having a problem with? We may have
to change the charset declaration (Default is UTF-8). note that I have in
fact changed this on many of the files, i.e all those that choked on the IBM
parser, but sometimes I did not check them on both parsers.

I am impressed! the browser is very fast and appears to give very good
support for CSS, including the white-space:pre property!! FTR. Here are my
test files

poem,ascart{white-space:pre;}
ascart{font-family:monospace;}

?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="testpre.css"?>
