First, I am not an imbedding developer.
I thought I needed to present a different perspective on
existing Mac hardware and OS versions.

For those who came on board when the IIx came out,
supporting older hardware and OS's is important.

Which is faster more than half of the 43 Macs at my company.
I just de-commisioned my last Quadra this year.
The head of IT (me) uses a 9600/233.

We use 8.6 in the majority of our Macs. I still use 8.1 on a couple of Macs.

The classic skin makes the transition painless.
The .81 release is almost usable compared to Communicator 4.7x.
The support for modern HTML in 4.7x is not good, so I am lookiing
forward to
to deploying a browser that renders HTML 4.0 and CSS pages well.

But I can deploy the Mozilla on Macs, Windows, Linux (Intel & PPC), and
IRIX, all in use at my company.

The reality is now. As loud as the cry is for a Cocoa/mach-o build,
if you annoucce no support for older OS's, plug your ears.
