If a browser misrenders any of my sites, such as: http://ln.hixie.ch/ http://libpr0n.com/ http://mozillaquestquest.com/ ...etc, then it is a UA bug, not an authoring error. Now, of course, I understand that not supporting IE is obviously not acceptable to most people, and for other people not supporting screen readers is just as inacceptable, in which case fine, work around the bugs in those UAs while designing your sites. (I don't, but then I don't run a business out of my sites, so I can afford to exclude large segments of the population.) But specifications shouldn't have to be designed around UA bugs. -- Ian Hickson )\._.,--....,'``. fL U+1047E /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,. http://index.hixie.ch/ `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.'
