Interesting. Recall that M$ also got into trouble with Sun over their
desecration of the Java license by adding extensions which violated the
license. While the J++ people have gotten the message and are working on
(or, likely, delivered, by now), a compliant Java engine, perhaps the FP
people have not. Or people out there are developing with old copies of
FP. Result: code that works on the FP Java engine (probably the same as
the IE Java engine) is broken on Sun-compliant Java engines.
How do you detect an FP web page?
