" " Ah yes, the version of the W3C home page that uses CSS2 positioning and "which, " although valid, looks like a train wreck in most current browsers. I "expect we " will move to that version shortly after the Verso site " " http://www.verso.com/ " " drops the tables and images of text in favour of positioning, float, anfd " WebFonts. Two nits: that page uses CSS1 exclusively (no positioning), and I was sincere when I said I didn't blame W3C for not going with it. But since we're getting defensive, Verso's site (designed in Summer 1996) _is_ frankly about delivering the bacon in what's deployed already, while W3C's - you'd think - would hew a pretty close line to a more visionary ideal. And it does, mostly. (That table does confuse things a little bit, but I understand why it's there.) Verso's site will soon be redesigned, btw, in several different server-mediated degrees of elegance, ranging from neanderthal to cro-magnon for your browsing pleasure.
