FW: IE4.0 and W3C Standards

> An article was recently written by CRN (Computer Reseller News) that

> of HTML 3.2 that will ship in Internet Explorer 4.0. This article is
> WRONG.  Microsoft is NOT defining any new HTML or CSS features that
> are not being discussed in coordination with the W3C. Dynamic HTML is
> a cross-platform object model available to scripts that accurately
> represents a HTML and CSS document according to those standards.  The
> API used by Dynamic HTML is being reviewed and discussed within the
> document object model working group of the W3C.

> All new features being introduced in Internet Explorer 4.0 are under
