I have to back Stui on this! Superscripts and subscripts work on Mosaic
2.0 final beta for Windows; however, the don't show for some programmers here
who run Netscape on AIX. I've also found that those font size tags don't
do diddly to my Mosaic output.
If you are writing for a "corporate web" as I am, you can be somewhat more sure
as to what browser your users are using. (Notice I did qualify that with
a "somewhat.") :)
