    The siteexperts.com example used technology (including the <htmlarea>
element) from an IE 5.0 beta version that never made it into the released
version. My understanding is that the MSHTML component has changed from its
earliest existence as a strictly downloadable add-on for IE 4, to an
included (but optional) feature of IE 5.0, to an integrated feature in IE
5.5+. I believe that the IE 5.5 and IE 6 versions (beefed up from the IE
5.0x version) are entirely compatible, perhaps even identical.
