Yes, I did, but I've reported a lot of CSS bugs to Netscape, many of 
them before 4.0 went final.  Not many were actually fixed.  (My 
biggest disappointment was that the need to have JavaScript enabled 
to see Cascading Style Sheets was not fixed, even though I reported 
that in an early beta.)

Yes, I was surprised to find Netscape 4.0 recognizing the MEDIA 
attribute at all.

In my quick test, I couldn't find any support for the CSS printing 
extensions.  I tried

@page { size: landscape }
h2 { page-break-before: always }

since they seemed like they'd be fairly easy to implement, but 
Netscape 4.01 ignored those rules (while applying other rules in the 
MEDIA=screen linked style sheet).
