Microsoft is currently as close as you'll get to a de facto standard, and I don't see them becoming sticklers for standards. If Mozilla implements proprietary browser extensions, then we are in a much _worse_ position. Currently we can say: "We implement the W3C standards, which are how things should work. Program to those, and we will cope fine." Otherwise, we'd be saying "We implement W3C stuff, and layers, and IE's proprietary DOM (although not as well as IE does) because we think that Microsoft controls web standards and not the W3C. Write whatever rubbish you like and we'll try and keep up as Microsoft 'innovates'." Gerv
