For many versions, up to and including dev.19, using SortaSGML parsing
of the Yahoo Finance page that gives a summary of the major financial
indices has rendered as:

Now, suddenly with dev.20, it renders as:

However, changing to TagSoup parsing, returns the indices lines back to
the left margin, so it seems there are some problems with the changes made
to the parsing code for dev.20.

Perhaps whomever was fiddling with that code could take a look, and see
what's up ...?
