 A Layer of type OpenLayers.Layer.Text will not be visible in IE (6.0) if a
 description meta tag is present in page header.

 Looks like this is a bug in IE only.

 A workaround could be to rename the variable "description" in Text.js to
 something like "markerdesc". see attached patch.

 To reproduce this bug just add the tag <meta name="description"
 content="Map"/> to the page header of the sample
 http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/markersTextLayer.html and open the page
 in IE6.
