I'm afraid I don't know of any discussion in the archives as such, but
the page comparing screenshots of the English Wikipedia [1] suggests
that the key problem is that Netscapre 4.x only partially implements
CSS, in such a way that modern use of it breaks very easily. Perhaps
the answer in your case would be to create a new skin which uses "old
fashioned" HTML attributes to do the visual styling, rather than
CSS...
