I have to disagree.
Netscape's implementation of W3C standards is poor at best. On an Intranet
site I had to tell the company that IE 4.0 was the minimal standard because
I couldn't get NS to correctly render the CSS code I wrote, which was
standards compliant. The Mozilla rendering engine is great for CSS, but it
didn't seem to be used in NS 6.
For Turbo Squid, my current employer, to support NS, we had to rewrite our
HTML 4.0 code to HTML 3.2 and eliminate ALL CSS. That wasn't pleasant.
