I said _should_. I know Microsoft claim to have full CSS1 support. I also know that unless their final release has significant improvements over their last preview release, they are not even close. Don't take this the wrong way, I'm very impressed by the improvements that IE 6 Preview has over IE 5.5 in terms of CSS1 compliance. However, it is nowhere near the compliance of the best browser(s) on the market, and those browser(s) rightly do not claim full compliance. > I sympathize with the idea of an @version statement.

But then should IE6 claim to support to support 'ex'? How about 'float'? [The same questions could be asked of other browsers, I merely pick IE6 because that is the browser mentioned in other parts of this thread.] -- Ian Hickson )\ _. - ._.) fL Invited Expert, CSS Working Group /. `- ' ( `--' The views expressed in this message are strictly `- , ) - > ) \ personal and not those of Netscape or Mozilla. ________ (.' \) (.' -' ______
