I love life, it's so full of little coincidences :P

I wrote an article on PHP-as-CSS just last week - but on a different website
:P

Anyway, this is a standard CSS file being sent out as MIME type text, and
only Opera coughs up on it...

It's not anything about (in)valid CSS - this is the default wp-admin CSS for
a WP 2.1 install, and it's the same on all 4 of my servers, it's only this
particular server on Opera alone giving me errors.
