It might help to point out that they are voilating the HTML standard,
which e.g. will also lead to problems once they start using real
editors.

Sigh.. it's a big problem. It's a very microsoftesque attitude:
"Standards? We don't need no stinkin standards".. yeah right, we
just make up our own... darn.

I think OmniGroup should be very careful about which netscapism to
implement and which not. At least, don't follow them blindly.

Best wishes,
Chris
