Whoa! Here's an interesting example:

To center text Mozilla will use a div with an inline style like
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the same with useCSS on or off.

But IE will simply add an attribute to the current surrounding tag like 
this:
<p align="center"> or even <h2 align="center">

YUCK!
