It was (is) broken in MSIE3. But if you were running MSIE3 back in 1998, the
bug never showed up because the nodes and connector lines in the graphs were
each in their own table cell. The bug became visible in mid-1999 when the
table was thrown out and simplified to simple rows of <IMG> tags abutted
together as tightly as possible. NN rendered the inter-image spacing correctly
(0 pixels) while MSIE3 rendered it with ~6 extra scan lines of whitespace
between lines/rows. Seemed like a fair tradeoff for being able to vastly
simplify the HTML code for the graphs, also hoping/faithing that MS would fix
the bug eventually.
