If you had to, how would you use one stylesheet to
- use scroll:
- style form elements
- set body margins to a true 0px
Sure, there's a ton of CSS that will render pretty much the same in
the majority of browsers ... but some cool stuff that will not.

As do I for the most part.
Back to the subject: of the thread ... I have two clients that insist
on continuing to use NN 4.x ... both use custom CMSs which are
stunningly beautiful in IE, Opera and NN 6+ ... I cannot get them to
switch. They like NN 4.x. Why? WHY? WWHHYYY?
