I'm not sure we can ever getaround that.
I would really like a browser with preference I can activate that turns off all kinds of sniffing and hacks that the browser does to support the ‘real internet’ (so, in this case, it would display text). This would be incredibly useful as a debugging tool when working on large web sites that I didn't author.
