So, while agreeing with everything you've said re standards, the likelihood
is that IE5/6 users account for more of the 'consumer' market than most of
our stats show... which kind of gets back to my point of how long we go on
trying to enable NN4 users to see things as intended, while still coding for
compliance?
Just a touch of devil's advocate in there - it's been a good discussion so
far, but I must away to my pit...
