I wasn't endorsing the design consideration, only trying to explain a possible (valid) design consideration. As long as you allow access for -everyone-, it -is- a valid design decision to create pages optimized for a particular browser or set of browsers. (Doing this correctly is difficult, which is why information ghettoization is a problem.) I don't personally -agree- with this design decision and I would argue against it, but I would not argue that it's an invalid thing for someone to want to do. -- Kynn Bartlett mailto:kynn@hwg.org President, HTML Writers Guild http://www.hwg.org/ AWARE Center Director http://aware.hwg.org/
