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...
