[thelist] mozilla 0.9.3

[Chris Garrett]

Standards, great, right on brother. Problem with standards is you have to
get everyone to agree to them and actually make them work. Which, as we all
know is a little way off yet.

However it happens, I dont care, I would just like to get to the point where
I don't have to explicitly spell out in every spec or scope, whatever, which
browsers a site has been developed for and tested on. And you can always
guarantee the CFOs 14 year old sons computer will use something else when he
comes to look at it for the first time :O/

Now, if IE6 and Moz are all of a sudden compatable, well that's lovely for a
year or so down the road, but as we still get hits from NS3 users I would
much prefer the <20% of non-IE peoples computers to suddenly get a NS eating
virus ;O)
