All this story makes no sense, in the end. According to the previous comments above:
Those who wrote the standard had no clue about what was being defined. So no correction (aka 4.02?) to the HTML standard has been proposed/discussed/done in 15 years. Implementing and reimplementing for years interim unstable specs has been considered more important than fixing the current stuff. If anything is too hard to fix, than shame on application developers, each of them, to find a suitable workaround in their software. Sounds like we are at Microsoft or IBM more than the Mozilla Foundation. Despite the motto "We’re building a better Internet" (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mission/) and the manifesto "08 Transparent community-based processes promote participation, accountability and trust." I need to be wrong and/or misinterpreting all these words. Shame on me. Please close this bug with whatever tag you want. It won't matter anyway. I only hope that challenging someone's choices is not interpreted as impolite, rude or unkind. I hate to accept technical stuff blindly and with no factual justification. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353877 Title: FF doesn't render the properties and the styles of <COL> tags To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/353877/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
