Click here for the cached text only." Clicking that link strips stylesheets in addition to images, so it is a good workaround for Mozilla users who figure out that they should cilck the link. IE has poorer incremental rendering, so IE users can't even see that link until the stylesheet load times out. Opera 7.54 seems to avoid this problem entirely -- I can see a cached page in Opera in about 1 second that I can't see in Mozilla or Internet Explorer for about half a minute. I wonder if it takes an approach like <a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84582#c11">http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84582#c11</a> or does something else.
