Finding fault with any random's html code is a low-tech high-grouth  
industry.

What is interesting to me [as a web page designer] is to understand  
how people will see my documents on various browsers.  This  
"netscaped enhanced" mantra that so many acolytes must push in our  
faces is all well and good but to sacrifice a page to this paradigm  
that 1) has no need for it, and 2) pays no attention to a simpler  
design criterial that could encompass all browsers is <blink>just  
silly</blink>.

What I would like to see (and what I would pay for) is to have the  
ability to group browser functionality in preferences so that  
OmniWeb, with a click of a button, will emulate NetScape (1.0, 1.1,  
and 2.0), Mosaic (the latest release), lynx (ok, so I am pushing  
it), and Java enabled apps.
