  NS4 is one of least standards-complaint browsers available. The DOM 2
standard[1] specifies exactly what should be.

  Yes, and is recommended by the W3C[2].

  Yes, XML and XHTML[3] are recommendations of the W3C.

  You've got it the other way around. Lynx renders standard-compliant and
accessible sites legibly, because the sites were designed that way.

  A correctly-written site could be visually pleasing and interactive on an

  New standards are written all the time, usually with much emphasis on
backwards-compatibility. Majority changes over time, amd implementations
change even between different browser versions. The only way to be sure your
site will work in the future without rewriting is to write to standards.
