I'm on Phil's site: this discussion is counterproductive. Tantek
was explicitly talking about CSS1 conformance. That's also his area
of expertise and (partly, I assume) responsability. Generic comments
from MS and MSN marketing about standards support, however ill
advised, should not be related to his claims about CSS1, and are off
topic for this list.
I'm sure there are warts in any browsers CSS1 conformance (on the
new CSS-Discuss lists problems with many floats in MacIE were
discussed, and I know of some bugs in Opera).
Greetings,
