The fact is that neither Netscape nor Internet Explorer will ever fully
comply with the spec - as long as there are millions of pages with CSS
like this:
#menu0hider {position:absolute; left:5; top:295; z-index:201;
visibility:visible; width:92px;}
, neither Netscape nor Microsoft will release a compliant browser.

If I find a competition for best piece of sophistry, I'll have to enter
