Well, I don't think it is Windows' fault. I just loaded the URL in FF, Google 
Chrome  and Opera, running under Mandriva Linux. Same results as you had. BTW, 
I noticed that all save one occurrence of "grogegen" have a different 
indentation. So the problem is not in the browser, nor is it OS dependent.
