Quirksmode is practically the standard behaviour on which the vast majority of the web is built. It will be a pain for any new browser team creating a new rendering engine to implement the new html properly as well as finding the time to reverse engineer how IE & firefox handle quirksmode and implement that as well. Facts about how quirksmode works must be documented for the benefit of new implementers or else we'll be stuck with only webkit/gecko/opera/IE for a very long time with no new successful competition. -- :: thyme online ltd :: po box cb13650 nassau the bahamas :: website: http://www.thymeonline.com/ :: tel: 242 327-1864 fax: 242 377 1038
