Really? What is my job, as you see it? I thought it was to turn out
user-friendly web sites that by hook or by crook also meet my clients' oft
misguided criteria. Despite their criteria, frequently.

'Bout the same as they look in NN6, I'd image: not pretty. On the other
hand, I can't contract to support a browser that doesn't yet exist. And
considering that two years is the approximate lifespan of a website before a
major overhaul/redesign, how pressing is this issue anyway?

I do agree at least in theory with the rest of your comments and points,
though :o)
