+As of 2024, Safari on Apple platforms mis-displays the Bedstead Web
+page.  The 'palt' feature is being mis-applied to U+0020 SPACE
+characters.  Most of them end up not being narrowed, but some instead
+end up with negative width, as though different layers of the browser
+are calculating the widths of spaces differently.  The problem doesn't
+appear to affect any characters other than spaces.  Other characters,
+including punctuation, get displayed correctly.
