Noone ever wanted Netscape to drop existing proprietary tags.  We (the

WaSP) just want browser makers to comply to existing standards before

implementing another proprietary tags!! The CSS 1 recommendation, for

example, has been around since 1996. Microsoft and Netscape did

implement stuff like colored scrollbars but they did not manage to

implement 100% of the CSS1 recommendation!


I recommend everybody who's interested in the "browser wars" and Web

standards to join the WaSP and/or subscribe to the WaSP mailing list.
