Adobe GoLive uses it. A -lot-. It's one of the things I have always 
disliked about that product. I have not seen a browser handle it 
badly, but I haven't tested it either, since I don't use GoLive.

So you will see the SPACER tag on Adobe's web page.

(By the way, has anyone noticed how bad their home page is? 140K!! 
And no META tags at all! Someone at Adobe is asleeeeep at the switch.)
