try loading a style sheet from http://martijn.homeip.net if you like. As I am 
not running an httpd that will timeout on my firewall dropping packages. 
Gives you *plenty* of time to test ;-)

I have no access to browsers other than Konq at the moment (and good old NS 
4.7, but that's not too much help I fear), so that's all I can offer today. 
Tomorrow at work I might be able to test some more if you like. What exactly 
did you want to see tested? Something like

<html>
<head>
<link type="text/css" href="http://...">
<script>alert('boo!');</script>
</head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>

?

It would make some pages appear slower, but it saves some very ugly relayouts 
that are _very_ apparent on slower machines. On the whole I'd like to try a 
patch that does that if you can make one up. I don't think it's good to add 
that *now* to KDE 3.1 though, although you can judge the impact yourself much 
better.
