I thought the same thing at first, but think about it...  Any tags that
are not understood should be ignored.  AWeb is ignoring the <FONT></FONT>
tags in that it's not mucking with the fonts.  But there is no space
in '<FONT SIZE=+1>N</Font>ow' so it should be treated as a single word
with no breaks.  So AWeb is not correctly ignoring an unsupported tag,
as it should be.

I don't think I've run into this myself, I'm just going by what the
original poster said.  So far, I enjoy AWeb the most of the Amiga
browsers...
