Firefox won't break long words at a hyphen, so the long word will
overflow its container. Other browsers _will_ break at a hyphen.

The overflow-behavior is correct, but Gecko-browsers should start
breaking words at hyphens, IMO.
So, yes, Firefox has a weak spot here, and there are not all that many
workarounds for it.

IE6 (and older versions) doesn't understand min-width, so they will make
a bit of a mess of it at narrow windows. I usually add a min-width
simulation, an expression or something, for IE6, but not in this quick demo.
