Heh. I write this so it becomes public knowledge. At the moment the documentation webpages somehow detect iPad even if browser pretends to be something else (e.g. Terra being Firefox or Desktop Safari).
So there is no way you can avoid the "iPad look" of documentation on iPad with most browsers. Great.
I guess I could build my own browser from customized WebKit sources and detect what they are using for this and avoid it, but I don't think I have the time for this.
I did manage to get normal pages by using Opera Mini, but that browser has its own set of issues.
