The difference may be that almost all of the "all sorts of Israeli sites 
in Unicode Hebrew" are unpointed or almost unpointed Hebrew, which is 
displayed OK with almost all modern browsers, but Chris K's site offers 
a fully pointed and cantillated text. Displaying the latter is a much 
harder problem, and I don't know if anyone has yet solved it properly 
for the Mac. (I await confirmation from Karl that there are any fully 
pointed and cantillated sites which appear correctly on his Mac.) SBL 
Hebrew and Ezra SIL have more or less solved the problem for Windows only.
