Hi Bernd,

I think the unstyled content quirk can be avoided by ensuring that all CSS
and links to same come before all your JavaScript links in the HTML source
order. Have you tried that?

In practice I find that, as long as you develop to web standards, Opera
tends to just work without spending additional time on it. That said, you do
occasionally need to use one standards compliant method over another to stay
on the "golden path" of the cross-browser balancing act.
