I think this will happen with any browser.  The orange header
highlighting is done with a *.png (which doesn't scale with the font).

One way that scales would be to have a section (perhaps a "div") with
"background-color: orange" and let the xhtml engine fill in the color.

The downside of pure xhtml rendering is that you do lose the ability
to make a rounded corner.  There are some hacks to do this too
involving cutting the background picture up into repeating and
non-repeating sub parts.

(Personally, I'm not sure rounded corners add enough eye appeal to
justify all this work.  I just wanted to point out that if rounded
corners were really desired, it would be possible to do them in a more
resolution-independent way.)
