Netscape 6+, Mozilla and Gecko support it - aren't they the same browser? So yes, 3 browsers out of the 20+ still in development is a pretty poor support by any yardstick I use. > That counts as "little support"?

Well IE support would be required as a minimum, IE and Mozilla cope with any old crap, don't mistake "rendering any old crap" with "supporting XHTML" Jim.
