Yes, we are probably the best browser out there at the moment in terms of
standards compliance. But we are nowhere near the promise of "full CSS1
and HTML4 support and no blocker bugs in other standards" which it is
perceived Mozilla 1.0 should deliver on.
Just because everyone else sucks more than us doesn't mean we are ready.
Imagine what a terrible way of working that would be: if you beat all the
competition, you instantly stop innovating and improving.
