Just to fix a common error in the vocabulary.
This is *not* what interoperability means.
Interoperability means the capability of two independent
implementations to work exactly the same.
A document is read or created by
applications foo and bar developed
without prior knowledge of the other
application.
What is described: "working the same way as other browsers" is
compatibility. It is completely different.
