Browser rounding differs not only by browser, but also by platform. Now that Safari exists on both doz and Mac, one must be specific discussing what "Safari" does. "Safari" (v3.x) seems to round on doz identically to FF, while on Mac noticeably not identical: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Fnt/rounding-SS.html Hopefully this FF difference will disappear in FF3, but not having a new enough OS X version to run FF3, I can't test for any difference. -- "Either the constitution controls the judges, or the judges rewrite the constitution."
