Unfortunately, it probably is. The table uses HTML 3.0 tables (also
known as "netscape tables". It passes 'html-check' with the
html-3.dtd). These display fine on Netscape 1.1 and up. New versions
of Mosaic seem to be able to display tables (as long as you enable
that option), but have trouble with table elements that contain HTML
markup (e.g. <B>keyword</B>). These elements display as empty
elements in even new versions of Mosaic. On older versions of Mosaic,
the table looks like the quoted portion above (and is somewhat
unreadable).
We've added a disclaimer to the top of the page warning about the
possible browser problem. We've also added a "preformatted" version
of the table that can be viewed by browsers that don't display tables
correctly (reachable from the EiffelTerms.html page).
