This is the same in Firefox/OSX (of course); also, I seeethe
same result in Safari/OSX and Internet Explorer/OSX.

IIRC, HTML was originally wasn't a display language - it was designed
to allow you to specify *what* text was, and the header tags were one
of those early ones which do not imply anything about how they should
be displayed. How pages were displayed, was supposed to be up to the
viewer and viewing s/w.

Over (a short) time, of course, a demand for more control over the
appearance of a page developed and so tags were added to control it.

Of course, my memory is not that great, so I could be all wrong about
this.
