This is really odd, I'm having a bug on chrome windows where the html gets printed out as plaintext. MIME type issues on the server side maybe? Other than that, looks like an interesting read.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
I looked for a 'View as' menu item prior to reloading, but very interesting that a reload fixed it.
If all browsers actually paid attention to Content-Type then this site probably would have fixed the actual problem. Instead we have a world where it works in only some browsers, and naïve users consider the one that is technically more correct to be "broken".
This seems to resolve the issue well enough.

(I did it to be able to read the paper without all the distracting OCR errors/typos in the OP's version; perhaps they've been fixed since then, though they weren't at the time I sent him this.)
