yes -- MSIE even more than NN has taken browser forgiveness (ie, let's

talk about making it hard to teach proper table structure in my HTML class!
MSIE renders a table even w/out the closing TRs and TABLE tags!!
and i had to rant and rave about this with some "database" pages that tech
writers were building at boeing. they were putting complete front page
files INSIDE a template -- i had some with three sets of starting body
tags. and none of the damn browsers broke. not even the 3.x versions.
