Hi, I have noticed rendering issues with Firefox 3.0.1 an its ability to
properly
render these tags.  Next, all browsers display rendered HTML or some variant
of it.  Furthermore, this is a Firefox issue that needs to be addressed by
their core
development team.  Finally, all browsers are not created equally and you
might
have to indicate on your site as to what browsers are recommended and/or
which
are not and why.

Good luck,

-Conrad
