Bugs: Fixed and Unfixed

I learned that, despite being Gecko-based, Chimera can’t render these pages as XML. So back it goes into receiving them as “text/html” (ie, no MathML support). And I filed a bug report with the Chimera team.

In case you’re keeping track, that means that the .htaccess file for this blog now looks like

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /~distler/blog/
RewriteRule ^$   index.html
RewriteCond  %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Gecko
RewriteRule \.html$   - [T=application/xhtml+xml]
RewriteCond  %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Chimera [OR]
RewriteCond  %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Safari 
RewriteRule ^$|\.html$   - [T=text/html]

On the other hand, P&L Systems quietly released a new version of their Mesa spreadsheet, which fixes the printing bugs under Jaguar. Since I had previously ragged on them, I want to publicly say, “Thank You”.
