Hi Paul:
Unless you know something I don't (very probable...) Apple have ignored the
last several hundred bugs filed against Safari on this issue. I suspect
they will continue to ignore them in the future.
There is a substantial difficulty in getting a company that makes money from
selling software to take seriously a bug report on a piece of software they
don't "sell".
I know they disbanded the IE Mac team :-) But I still believe they may
surprise us and release IE 7 for the Mac. But not soon...
Cheers
