Safari vulnerable to URL spoofing

Following the discovery by Benjamin Tobias Franz for spoofing URLs in
IE by using tables within links.

http://www.packetstormsecurity.nl/0410-advisories/msieLink.txt

It is possible to spoof URLs under OS X in the latest Safari browser
1.2.3 (v125.9) by using the same method.
Ironically, this does not work with Internet Explorer on OS X version
5.2.3 (5815.1).

Tested on OS X 10.3.5 (build 7M34) with latest software update.
