designers almost got to the point where you had to design two websites
depending on what browser someone used.
That's one of the best reminders I've read on this list in a long
time... in fact any list.
I think it's interesting to look back at how that's played out.
MS took us down their road, some said they did it to dominate.
Why didn't Netscape just follow them down the MS Standard road?
Standards are there for a reason, in the long run they do make life
easier for all of us
MS would agree with you, and in fact do.
"What's wrong with the standard just being the one that MS give us.
After all, they usually pay for some of the best people to develop the
standard. Why should it be in 'independent' body?"
CALM DOWN! This is not intended to be a troll, so don't feed a flame!
It's apparent to me why the suggestion I made above is the wrong answer
even if it wasn't apparent to many people at the time the battle over
web browsers was played out.
