Thanks for this Jonathan. It looks like it may be necessary to be
turning on my Windows box more regularly...

I looked at your suggested:
#navStrip UL {
line-height: 2;
margin: .2em;
padding: 0;
}
#navStrip LI {
display: inline;
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0 -.2em;
padding: .25em .5em;
border-left: 1px solid #00C;
border-right: 1px solid #00C;
}
However, it makes for separators at the start and at the end? At
least in FF 1.5 on a Mac.
It seems such a tricky little thing to achieve across browsers
and yet such a simple aim! Practically, I do not mind leaving out
the separators altogether, the links are clear enough, certainly
underlined they would be...
It makes me wonder whether the better looking and scaling
" | " technique I used to use might be adapted to be
more acceptable. It is a presentational item in the html. I am
only concerned about this in respect to practical effects: like
unnecessary complication of screen reader output.
(BTW, I took another look at the missing king thing, it has been
years, and I had to rework it out! But it is a nice puzzle. It
was in the Guardian, years ago and a prize was offered. I got it
ok, but missed out on any goodies... there was a first come first
served or lottery among the correct entries, I forget!)
