PPS:  Keep an eye out for IE5.5.  One really cool feature is IFRAME
transparency!

What's that?  is it part of a standard, or is it the notorious Embrace and
Extend?

Are you ignorant? Do you understant competition?  What would happen If every
car was the same?  We want people to use our browser, so obviously we have to
make it better (what the Linux world calls embrace and extend).  We are more
RFC compliant than Nav.  Of course, we have tons of other stuff that isn't in
the RFC.

I was actually interested to see what it was...  And in fact I do understand
competition, but I also understand standards.  If you want people to use your
browser, you should make it faster, or use less memory, or have more
_client_side_ features...  You should not make it render pages incorrectly, or
have it's code break industry standards.
