question is who will pay developer for it.
Real life is that it's not cost effective to "tune" web site to non-standard
browser(s)
// Which Netscape 6/Mozilla is.
Just look at recent reviews on this subject.

Well, let's see in one year if Mozilla is able to achive at least 5% of
browser market.
Than I would probably agree.
But current "arrogance" of Mozilla browser (incl. ignoring real-life sites)
doesn't allow to break out of current niche.
BTWL I agree with you, it would be nice if all sites are CSS-compliant. But
we live in real world, and it's not perfect.
