According to a study I did last September, about 93% of pages on the Web are non-conforming at a purely syntactic level. So I think we are forced to consider non-conforming pages in our consideration of whether or not we can change legacy page renderings. Consider that microsoft.com, google.com, and cnn.com are all non-conforming today. I don't think we could even consider a change that made browsers change their renderings of those pages. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
