'Standard' w/r anything 'html' is just as mythical and hard to find in the real 
world as 'Mothra'.

'Conflicting advocacies of incompatible bloat' would be wordier, but more on point.

In any case, the site works with:

- Netscape/Mozilla/SeaMonkey/Firefox

- Opera

- IE (More's the pity!)

- Safari

- Camino

- Lynx

.. and probably several other browsers I don't have readily to hand..

Pragma - tically,

Bill
