RE: visibility property

Actually, I don't believe IE4 does implement the letter of the spec for
visibility.  We couldn't override inherited visibility: none values without
causing severe problems in some cases, so we turned it off.  In the future,
we'll be able to do this, and properly implement visiblity:inherit.
