Martin, are you primarily a user or a web developer?

- If you're a developer, then you're talking yourself into a lot of extra
work every time new full versions of the popular web browsers are released.
The result of all this new-fangled "standards compliance" is less work for
you.

- If you're a user, then you won't see the difference when the web
developers start making sites to work in all browsers, as you'll get what
you get. You'll have no means of comparing the results of this work side by
side and so you won't moan that the site looks different in NS and IE (as I
can't imagine that the disinterested end user will use more than one
browser). If you're a user, then what does it matter how the end result is
achieved, if the site works well in your browser?

(I'm not getting pissy, just curious.)
