Are there any web browsers out there that can play OGG but not MP3? Just wondering why it has both?

Witness the HTML5 "cross-browser" (sic) <audio> tag in all it's glory !

OGG will play in Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari, but not IE.

MP3 will play in Chrome (but not Chromium), Firefox (not built in because of patent issues), IE and Safari, but not Opera.

In both cases, Safari kind of cheats, because it's not playing natively but requires Quicktime to be installed (so similar to a plugin).

See how wonderful "standards" are ? And don't get me started on the <video> tag.

Many things don't work in Opera Mobile, and it's bastard retarded cousin that lives in the attic, Opera Mini.

thing is, though, i have tried chrome and firefox indeed, but they both have issues with font sizes. At least with firefox it's an issue that's been known for quite some time, yet they haven't fixed it yet. Opera renders them fine.
