well, obviously mozilla != NS6 (WLOG by trivial examination, NS6 sucks, and
mozilla does not. :: mozilla != NS6, QED)
in other words "all the bugs in NS6 were fixed, so of course the result is
different". I don't recall anyone promising compatibility. Someone clearly
needs to stand on the rooftops and shout "NS6 is *not* a suitable basis for
doing *anything*", because I've run into a lot of people who are obsessing
over NS6 compatibility without realizing the rest of the world has passed
them by.
