erm, no... i actually code to specs, which actually means i'm
gonna get better results in N6 and IE5+... but i don't *target* it...

actually, N6 is the most standards-compliant browser i have
found... it supports a whole helluva lot correctly... however, it
adheres to the HTML 4.01 and CSS1 standards... CSS-P and
CSS2 are not supported by N6, and even NN4.x and IE4.x don't do
them correctly for what little support they offer... so coding to the
CSS-P and CSS2 specs is just going to make your eyes bleed if
you expect it work perfectly...

yeah, ditch CSS-P until a browser comes out that supports it...
