It seems to the limitations of WebView.loadData? I also ran into some
weird problems with loadData. Such as cannot display tables. See
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/13f9b8850ac048ac/7347368a5adbe905.
But when using WebView.loadUrl, the same html content can display
correctly.
