DeLong ->Martin Diekhoff ->Chris Kaminski ->Dan Shafer ->Dori Smith ->Jeffrey Veen -> AN OPEN LETTER TO MICROSOFT: IT'S TIME TO GET IT RIGHT As a member of the Web Standards Project and a working developer building Web sites, I am writing to ask that Microsoft take the next logical step in its support for W3C standards, and deliver full (100%) support for Cascading Style Sheets Level-1, HTML 4.0, DOM 1.0 and XML 1.0 in the next version of Internet Explorer. Full support of these standards will enable developers and designers to finally embrace this technology, which Microsoft helped create, and which Microsoft was the first to begin supporting. In its dispute with AOL over instant messaging, Microsoft has made compelling arguments about the value of commonly supported standards and I believe those arguments apply just as strongly to browsers as well. Less than full support in Internet Explorer would be a bad marketing decision when its largest competitor delivers the goods. Microsoft's support for these standards has been far superior to Netscape's, but that will change when Netscape releases Navigator 5.0, which appears headed toward fulfilling its promise of 100% support for these standards, according to independent reports. For the good of your browser and the advancement of the Web as a great medium for communications, commerce, and art, I urge you to go the distance and make full support for these standards a priority for your Internet Explorer development team. If you cannot commit to that time frame, I'd like to know when Microsoft DOES plan to deliver full support for these standards. If the answer is "never," I'd like to know that, too, so I can let my clients and site visitors know that standards-compliant sites may not work properly on Internet Explorer.
