L'histoire se répète, parbleu! 

Niccolò Machiavelli explained this was considered not very usefull 
in his age and in any other, because some points of history can be
unscrupulously overwritten, or not even filled faithfully: 

"On dit et cela se répète sans beaucoup de réflexions, que les traités
sont inutiles, puisqu'on n'en remplit presque jamais tous les points, et
qu'on n'est pas plus scrupuleux là-dessus dans notre siècle qu'en tout
autre."

_l_antimachiavel.html> 

So do like Niccolò, never trust browsers, even non-IE, to do as 
promissed.
