I do when I get a chance. I'm neck-deep in cleaning up the HTML and CSS of our 
site at the moment, so I'm pretty well-versed in CSS :)

I noticed that the option value has a <code> wrapper. I'm pretty sure that's 
unintentional too :)

I'm also looking into which browsers (if any) support the page-breaking style 
hints.
