thanks for the link! :-)
well, than I have to give up and say that this part of CSS standard is
*wrong*.
I understand that both MS and Netscape needed such "ignore as undefined"
feature. Probably, they pushed it to standards body, as they, for sure, were
controlling around 95% of browser market, especially in 1995-1996...
By the way, from consumer's point of view, MS's concept (auto-correcting)
sound more reasonable to me.

Looking forward to see first *standard-compliant browser* on planet Earth. :-)
There is none (yet), so in this case out discussion start to look too
*acedemish*...
