Oh, dear. http://www.google.com/search?q=%22if+supportMisalignedColumns%22
reports a whole bunch of "html" files containing stuff like
<![if !supportMisalignedColumns]>
generated by Excel and seemingly accepted by IE5.5, which is widely described
as an HTML system...it's not an HTML system? I'm shocked, shocked.
(Actually, I _was_ shocked when I saw it, and as quickly as possible
learned to strip it all out with tidy using "word-2000=yes" so I could
pass the spreadsheet through a stylesheet. I dunno.)
