Yeah, I just figured that out.  I normally use a browser that ignores
DIV tags and stylesheets.

Yeah again.  I hate all that cutesy make-it-like-TV or interactive
penc when I just want to read stuff so I usually contrive to just
not see it.  Makes for arguably ugly layout but most of the penc goes
away. By the same token, some otherwise invisible stuff shows up.

I still wonder what the Cyrillic/.UA stuff is about.
