Elsewhere in the thread I mentioned previously, Brett Leber had asked about dropping [EMAIL PROTECTED]: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.text.docbook.apps/18971/focus=19025 He links to an article on the subject, but that site is down for me. In his post, he quotes from the article: "Note that Netscape 4 does not properly support this, neither do some mobile browsers. In the case of the latter, at least, we can expect them to add support for this in the foreseeable future, whereas those who still have to support Netscape 4 will be less fortunate."
