Some od that is just what comes out of being open source, some of it
comes out of unccoperative Netscape workers of the old times. The former
category is hard to change, the latter is somehwat easier.
Hopefully, the best and most "forward" move to come with the 2.x release
series will be some discipline and cooperative standards...
We actually have a improved vastly with the switch from 1.x to 2.x, as
indeed a lot of that old code had some strange standards and not
well-explained code, while the newer code is in better shape overall -
even though we have some bad code in the platform from early Firefox
development days, but newer code is better and usually more consistent
there as well (I won't dive into slightly different coding standards in
SeaMonkey-specific code and Firefox/platform code here though).

That's encouraging. Maybe things will head in the right direction.
Sometimes a solution has far more to do with mindset than ability or
resources.
