Lets say we have a paragraph that wraps several lines. I'd like to
indent the first-line a bit.
The first-line pseudo class sprang to mind, but you can't set a left
padding there.
Perhaps something else?

If for some reason you don't want to use text-indent: 2em;, then perhaps:
<p> Lore m ipsum dolor...</p>
And you can control by adding more non-breaking spaces. Just don't add
more than will fit on a line. <g>

No, I just forgot about it and didn't see it when I googled. Seems
pretty obvious now!
There's lots of stuff I've never used because the support level was
low when I first learned about it, I think for most of CSS2, that's no
longer true.

Fair enough. I just went out for a walk and was amused to work out how
many ways I could think of to indent the first line of a paragraph if
God suddenly tossed text-indent into outer space as a punishment to
human beings for their desires for Fancy.

Nice.
God would likely toss out span too if anyone used
span {padding-left: 2em;} with

It's a bit difficult imagining any $DEITY getting sentimental about
MacIE5, although I suppose it was still an improvement on it's
predecessors.
Now, $DEVIL, on the other hand... (it's all in the details!)

You know, it is still nearly the only browser on my machine that fires
up in 2 or at most 3 secs. The "nearly" is put in because I notice my
recently updated Safari (now 3) is very quick too. I know for a fact
that God is mightily impatient. (If He had not been impatient, He would
have let let evolution do its work instead of rushing the job in six
days. I think, therefore, there is a case to be made that he would look
fondly on this IE browser. And, I assume it hardly needs argument that
He would be using a Mac.)

For the record, Google Chrome holds the record on my system, barely over
two seconds unless the system is busy. IE6 clocked in at 7 seconds, by
comparison.
I haven't used it for a couple of days, and don't think that XP preloads
stuff that it knows I'll use in the future. So it is unlikely that it
was cached. My PC is a two-year old "commercial use" job, so nothing
very exciting.

A publication style guide indicates that for a table heading like the
following,
Table 3. Wheat and rye harvest in European countries in years that end in 3
or 7 or when a new prime minister takes office.
when the heading flows over more than one line, a hanging indent should be
used, such that the remainder of the heading should be left-aligned, in this
example, with "Wheat", leaving "Table 3. " standing off by itself on the
left.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
