Depends on whether you think US or UK English. Here, standardisation is correct in UK English. We had a bit of a discussion about standardisation of spelling to consistent use of US English just recently. Given the wide range of languages involved in OOo there didn't appear to be any consensus so I guess it will not get changed. > Also, when going from the home page (http://www.openoffice.org/) to the page > http://why.openoffice.org/ I got the following Windows Explorer error > message "Your browser cannot display this site correctly - please ask your > vendor for an upgrade".

(particularly v6 and earlier since things have changed since they were last updated) I'm assuming the site is validated against these standards so quirks of Internet Explorer are likely to be specific to IE. You can download the latest version of Firefox for free from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/ This browser will stick to open standards and all updates are free and regular. IE6 was never updated for several years. > I hope the above helps.
