i wouldn't exactly state it like that... Navigator 4.x may not support 
all the features of HTML4, but it isn't accurate to say it doesn't 
support it... in fact, it seems to support the core HTML standard 
from 3.2 better than IE, but lacks the additions to HTML from the 
3.2 to 4.0 spec... so, i guess it depends on which features you 
consider to be most important...

also, it's CSS support is not very good, granted, but since i tend to 
only use CSS for text styling (given its shaky support in NN and 
even IE), i'd say its support is adequate... again, depends on what 
you're relying on CSS to do for you... it's lack of support shouldn't 
make a page unusable...
