The "very bad position" I'm referring to is not technical, but more
marketing. The "word is getting out" that Netscape6 does not handle
certain things, so developers need to exclude it. I've gotten code
from third parties sent to me that they want to include on our site
and it specifically excludes Netscape6 because they say it doesn't
work.
