The templates were long overdue for an overhaul and it is becoming increasingly difficult to create HTML that works properly in both Netscape 4.x, MSIE, and Mozilla, and that actually looks nicely. At this point, I believe that Mozilla is functionally stable enough to replace Netscape 4.x. It's simply too time consuming to figure out how to sidestep all of its rendering bugs, and I frankly don't have the time for it. I'll certainly accept HTML patches that improve Netscape's behavior, with only one condition: I must be able to edit the resulting HTML patches with Amaya - http://www.w3c.org/Amaya. I use the Amaya editor to reformat the HTML templates. It's not really possible to actually edit the HTML templates in amaya -- all the tags just get in the way. I do it the old-fashioned way - by hand, with emacs or vi. After finishing, I load the HTML into Amaya, add and delete an extra character somewhere, and save it. This reformats the HTML source code so that it is actually maintainable, and can be worked with again, in the future. So, any HTML changes must be able to survive being loaded and resaved in Amaya. -- Sam
