Yes, that's correct. And I haven't to teach my students first HTML4 and
CSS, and then have to tell them "OK, it's fine in theorie, but if you want
to _design_ pages which look well in Netscape 4 and IE 4 you have to use
this trick (which is not compliant with the STRICT DTD and CSS)"

It's nice to teach "Logical Markup"! Its a concept you can teach and
everyone will understand that it makes sense to markup a adress with
<adress></adress> or better with <name></name><street></street>... (you
have the point). But then there are the big browsers ...
Real annoying!
Hope for the future of IE5 an NN5
