New Financial New Speak
The following New Speak stolen from today Financial Times. I added the usual meaning column and made it in to a table.

Financial New Speak:

EBIT---Earnings Before Irregularities and Tampering
CEOChief Executive OfficerChief Embezzlement Officer
CFOChief Financial OfficerCorporate Fraud Officer
NAVNet Asset Valuenormal Andersen valuation
FRSFinancial Reporting StandardsFantasy reporting standards
P/EPrice Earnings (ratio)Parole Entitlement
EPSEarnings Per ShareEventual Prison Sentence

The Wall Street Journal would not have this. :)

New Cause of white space
You had nicely formatted html, and the lines in the formatting turned into line-breaks, and the browser places them before your table.

Go back and run your html all on one line, and it will work as you wanted.

Cheers,
Ben
