The source at

Curiosity.html>
has the effect on iCab/Safari of

This is an interesting curiosity indeed. Basically, it becomes a
mess but one can see in the phenomena that the lines are wrapping
over themselves! The sentence in the source code of the first of
the two urls above can be reduced in iCab to very small sizes
indeed and stretched in browser over a very large desktop to give
the perfect 'strike thru' effect. But when the browser is reduced
to induce wrapping, you get text that wraps over itself.
Enlarging the text just makes a bigger blacker mess and brings it
on earlier.
Surely this one needs a place in a browser phenomena museum.
