That's a myth. Well, there’s aural stylesheets too... And what’s ‘backwards compatibility’, really... To me, if it works for most cases, that’s backwards compatible enough, even though it is not strictly spoken backwards compatible from a semantic point of view. But in that case you can just tell people to upgrade their UA :), because backwards compatibility isn’t a formal goal of XHTML 2.0. ~Grauw -- Ushiko-san!
