I don't grok CSS, so don't know.  Mozilla is happy with the pages as
they are, but IE, and Opera apparently, want the width to be specified.
Mozilla renders both sets of pages the same way, so we don't lose
anything this way.  I wouldn't want to say which set of browsers are
doing the right thing; W3C's validator doesn't seem to care either way
(though it does have some interesting complaints for another thread).

I have applied similar patches to other chapters before, if that's worth
anything.
