We also added XML, XSL and CSS.
To be completely accurate, we invented them and gave them to the W3C as an
open spec.
So, please, don't lump us in with the Other Browser. At least we've publicly
apologized for the MARQUEE tag. Netscape haven't for BLINK, CENTER, LAYER,
etc etc etc. They have a bastardized version of java in their VM - even much
more so than MS's JVM (which is only missing RMI); at least we didn't change
the semantics of how the core packages work! They have JavaScript, which is
a bastardized version of ECMAScript that they won't fix.
Sheesh
Si (Not speaking for MS)
