[thelist] Validation > pressure on software companies??

[mini-d]

Don't people chance of cars where they see is getting olders?
Don't people change TVs because they become more wider and more
confortables and full of features?

I guess if we force that 4% to move to the rest i guess it would be
better. I figure a persona one day enter to a website and see almost
everything broken, because they s***y browser can't support any
standard, i guess we don't need to redirect the visitors to a page
explaining they need to change... I guess if every company frustrates
them, they will update.

That's just my opinion. I develop for 5.x and 6 browsers... And using
standards as my boss let me use them.

Cheers!, and good weekend.

I would not call a browser that I read today is down to less than 6% of
the market in broad use.
(http://www.bayarea.com/mld/bayarea/business/3468253.htm)  It comes down
more to the individual's audience: some sites probably have enough
Netscape 4.x traffic to justify more support for it than others.  Or
it's a business move: the last company I worked for worked closely with
AOL/Netscape providing content for AOL and Netscape.com and doing
co-branding of our content with them.  In the pre-version 6 days, we had
to provide good support for 4.x for their sake, even though it was a
minimal part of our site's traffic.
