Cool - it looks like Mac users just got a new version of Safari included with the 10.3.9 update!
"Those of you running Panther can now update to 10.3.9. This update includes Safari 1.3 and new versions of WebKit, WebCore, and JavaScriptCore that contain thousands of improvements we've made to the engine since Safari 1.2.
What you are getting is all of the new standards support, new WebKit capabilites, site compatibility fixes and performance optimizations that are also present in Safari 2.0 for Tiger. The layout engines for the two are virtually identical."

PS - The only site that seems to have a problem with this new version of Safari is Friendster.
Actually, Safari is rendering the page flawlessly.
The overlapping text occurs because Friendster's server side browser detection code mistakenly sends Safari the following stylesheet:
If you change Safari's user agent by spoofing (Debug menu), the problem goes away. I'm sure Friendster will fix this soon.
Just wanted to clear that up :)

There is a cool demonstration of Safari's client-side XSLT over at Pheed (http://www.pheed.com/news/) showing how to turn an RSS document (with their pheed photo extension) into a pretty nice looking gallery page via an external XSL document.
