This is one of those aggravating ones (to me, anyway).

IE and NN both recognize a "wrap" attribute.  Problem is, the 
permitted value for the attribute is different in each.

IE allows OFF | PHYSICAL | VIRTUAL

NN allows  HARD | OFF | SOFT

I guess the bright side is that you turn it off the same way for both.

Note that wrap="virtual" is the default setting for IE, but wrap="off" 
is the default setting for NN.  Cool, huh? ;-)
